[QUOTE="Arrow%20NLI:1329169"]As for "40 billion downloads means..." No, it doesn't. There's an entire group of people that exists on the internet that will download things just because they're there. Think 16 year olds with copies of Autocad, and tweens tweaking their cell photos with cracked copies of the best version of photoshop available. If actually in the market with their real dollars, you bet these options wouldn't even have been considerations. You mistakenly seem to assume that every single case of a download was an intent to obtain and own a specific album. More often than not, sadly, kids will download entire albums or discographies only to rip the "hits" and toss the rest. Those stats you're parroting don't account for that. Those stats also blindly ignore the peak the industry experienced that, in reality, lasted only 20 years or so. If you compare current sales figures and industry stats with those of the 1950's, how do they compare? Peaks, valleys. The pirates don't create the tide, man. They just ride it.[/QUOTE]
