Canadian Music Industry Says Downloading Declining
An anonymous reader writes "A new survey conducted by a Canadian music collective that counts the recording industry as one of its members has found that music downloading has declined dramatically in Canada. The survey found that only 14 percent of Canadians download, down from 21 percent in 2002. The survey also found that P2P is rarely a reason for people who purchase less music."
The Canadians have internet?
Help a man when he is in trouble and he will remember you when he is in trouble again.
Because I have downloaded all music known to man, I no longer need to pursue this.
Posting anon for obvious reasons.
OBVIOUSLY!
We know the truth about those dirty pirates STEALING all of the poor artists.
After all, our sales are down, and the ONLY possible explenation is that people are STEALING our^W The Artists' hard work!
Please, won't SOMEONE think of the Artists?
Thank you,

Do Or Do Not, There Is No Spoon, There Is Only Zuul. Everything in the above post is probably opinion.
1-We Canadians, already downloaded all the American music. 2-ISPs not getting cheaper in Canada and people switching to cheaper plans 3-Related to 1, people become crazy.
exactly... how many different versions of "O Canada" does one person need?
Thank you,
The MPAA
Wow, the MPAA are now going to bully into the RIAA's turf. This will make an interesting fight. I hope it's to the death, the death of both!
At least 2 to be a proper Canadian, one for each of our languages. And probably an instrumental version just to be safe, then maybe one that has all of the verses.
What want to know is...Why is Canada able to tax media ?...I mean I think they should be treated like any other state in the USA.
We are too busy making plans to invade our southern neighbor. Beware us!!!
Mean what you say...say what you mean.
Does Netcraft confirm it?
obviously this shows that DRM and security measures are working. or that more people are lying out of their asses. or that a different group of people were surveyed.
Bury me in mashed potatoes.
I wandered into the middle of your post and saw this. Context is everything.
Apparently, today's music sucks so bad that it's not even worth downloading it for free.
So, just long enough for the copyright to expire then?

They need to tack another A onto their name to make it more clear that we are supposed to hate them.

...one person responded to the question, "do you download music?"
The answer was, "no."
To the question, "have you bought any music?" the answer was, "no"
To the question, "why?" the answer was, "because there's nothing worth buying or downloading."
This poll has a margin of error or 50%.
Thank you all!
