Found this little gem amongst a news item.

HMV boss Alan Giles also addressed the conference and on a day that the British Phonographic Industry announced it was "declaring war" on downloaders who "routinely steal" music, he shrugged off the impact of digital downloading on CD sales.

"Around 2.6% of the US market is now using digital downloads but the CD album market has grown by 8%," he said. He insisted that downloading music actually expanded the market.
