Another beat-up from the music industry blaming illegal downloading for the decline in local music sales. I notice that they are focusing on the declining number of "CD" sales. One of the obvious reasons for the decline is CD sales is that people simply prefer digital media over physcial CD's. Personally I'd rather buy songs off iTunes rather than pay 30-odd dollars for a CD that I only like 2 or 3 tracks!
