iTunes Sales Not 'Collapsing' After All

john82 writes "Earlier this month we had a report from Forrester, based on a random sampling of 2,000 credit card accounts, that purported to show that iTunes sales were crashing. Now comes another survey from Reston, VA-based ComScore which indicates the exact opposite. ComScore's report which is based on actual iTunes sales shows a 84% increase during the first nine months of this year compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile the author of the Forrester report, Josh Bernoff, noted in his blog yesterday that they shouldn't be pummeled just because everyone took what he wrote and ran with it."

    Ah, but if you read what I wrote, you would note that I said "In my business......If you present data or a theory with the suspicion that it is incorrect, that is fraud in my line of work. Note that I said "in my line of work". So, I stand by what I said. If one were to conclude that they did not have the appropriate data, then why would they report it in the first place?
