obviously the poor economic situation is why record sales are poor
the music industry is just trying to use p2p technology as a scape-goat for their internal problems. lack of creativity is definitely one of the many inside problems. the fact that the recording industry have done literally nothing to lure people away from spyware-infested crap like kazaa truly shows how interested it is in changing the way the labels do business
when people get laid off from work and are on a tight budget, they'd rather buy bread, eggs, and milk instead of some cheesy CD
and i guarantee you, even if the music industry is successful in shutting down every p2p network out there, people still won't be buying music. wanna know why? well, let's see.. what does the music industry offer today? nothing but fucking crap.. all this violent rap, hip-hop, west coast vs. east coast bullshit, seeing how all the violence from the streets is brought into and communicated through music
it doesn't matter that most of these so-called musicians are convicted drug dealers, pedophiles, have participated in drive-by shootings, or never went past fifth grade in school. nah, none of this is important nowadays. interesting role models to say the least
