P2P Music Downloads At All-Time Low

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the imagine-if-music-were-just-cheaper dept.

RedEaredSlider writes "According to research group NPD Group, the shuttering of Limewire's music file sharing service has led to a similar decline in the usage of such services throughout the US. The number has gone from a high of 16 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007 to just nine percent in the fourth quarter of 2010, right after Limewire shut down its file-sharing services due to a court order, when a federal judge sided with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)."

    There is a decline in music downloads that NPD Group is able to track.

    Think about that one for a second.
