Warner Music accused in downloads fee-fixing "conspiracy" - silicon.com
"Warner Music Group reported on Friday soaring digital music sales, even as the company continues to lose money and faces numerous lawsuits related to alleged price fixing of music downloads."
So more and more people are BUYING music online. Well that throws the RIAAs continual whinging about music download piracy into sharp relief.
It's not going to stop the loss in profit though, it just means that everyone is waking up to the fact that instead of paying £10 for the one track you want and 9 filler tracks on CD you can pay 99p and just get the track you want.
Still, though the record companies won't admit it, the real cause of falling music sales is the larger number of "must have" items eating into everyone's disposable income. That means that everyone making music for sale is going to have to up their game and accept that people aren't going to accept CD filled with dross when they can buy the cream for a tenth of the price. Or perhaps less if there were any real competition in the download market...
