On the news this morning there was a brief segment on the woes of the
Recording industry.
In 2000, they sold 783 Million Recordings
In 2001, the number PLUMMETED to 768 Million
Why?
Miriah Carey is blamed for part of that. Her last album was not a 9M+
seller but a flop. But the big blame was PIRACY which the number of
pirated CDs equals the actual number sold.Yeah...I know...a 2% drop in
sales during a recession equates to 100% piracy. I don't know what cracker
jack box they got all this out of but I'd bet that's where whomever came
up with it got his diploma.
