"Covering the period of 1995-2003, the study looked for a link between owning a computer and decreased CD purchases."
Just looking at this article pisses me off!
First off, people with jobs get payed a certain amount of money. after you get payed, you pay your bills, and take the family out etc. The money which you have left over is what you have to spend on items you like which makes you happy. Before we had books, then books and newspapers, now we have the books and newspapers and magezines and television and music and videogames and hobbies like fishes and jogging and traveling. Of course CD sales are going to drop.
In my expirience, I stoped purchasing music long ago (since 1992). I was a gamer since the atari era and still am. Now I buy more games, watch no television, no newspapers, some books, alot of games, and i listen to the music i own since years ago. New music sucks anyways and have no intention of purchasing american RIAA crappy music. Even depeche mode released an album with only 2 good songs.
So I flip this article 2 fingers up and along with the RIAA with 2 fingers up and 2 foot fingers up as well.
