Canadian Music Industry Says Downloading Declining

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the quality-has-nothing-to-do-with-it dept.

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."

    Apparently, today's music sucks so bad that it's not even worth downloading it for free.

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