The New York Daily News just reported some interesting facts concerning the RIAA's position regarding P2Ps and file-sharing. Specifically, that sales are NOT significantly down as the RIAA claims. To wit: "...one of the main reasons the RIAA insisted it had to start blasting downloaders out of the water last summer was that CD sales were plummeting - by almost 11%, the RIAA said. Well, Nielsen Soundscan figures for the year are out, and they show CD sales in 2003 were 687 million, compared to 693 million in 2002....that's an overall drop of less than 1%, which is hardly apocalyptic in a rough year when purchases of everything from cars to movie tickets were also down...."
