Album Sales Increase, P2P Blamed
Posted by Ernest Miller
Oh, wait, that didn't happen.
The New York Times carries a Reuters wirestory on a 7% increase in music album sales for the first half of 2004 over 2003 (Album Sales in U.S. Reported Ahead of 2003). The short story doesn't attribute the change to any particular factor, but you can be sure that industry execs will take all the credit and complain that sales would be even higher absent P2P. What is the true story? No one really knows, the evidence is not decisive.
