I think that speaks volumes about the real reason why sales of music were down this past year: loss of interest in pop music. People have lost interest in the majority of the pop acts out these days and slumping sales by pop luminaries suggest as much.
Hopefully rather than concentrating on ruining online music trading, record industries might concentrate more on putting out quality music that's worth buying.
