"World music sales for the year 2001 fell by 5% in value and by 6,5% in units. Europe fell slightly by 0,8% in value and saw a drop in units sold of 2,2%. In the world’s major markets - including the US and many parts of Western Europe - this decline is attributed to a large extent to unauthorised CD-R copying. Two years ago, on a worldwide basis, one digital copy was made for every three music CDs sold. Last year, that ratio had shrunk dramatically to one-to-two. In 2001, for every CD album sold, one copy was burned. That amounts to around 2.5 billion CDs a year. At these levels of massive copying and piracy, huge damage is being done to legitimate recorded music sales."

Tole čudo se je spomnila BMG. Pozabil so seveda dodati, da je svetovno gospodarstvo v recesiji in da ljudje nimajo toliko denarja kot prejšnja leta (velja še posebej za ZDA), da CD-je nadomeščajo drugi formati, predvsem DVD, itd. Kakšno zavajanje!
Se bojo moral spomniti malo boljših argumentov...

Ne vem, kaj naj bi ta analiza v resnici pomenila, ker oni merijo število CD jev, ki so jih zapisali z glasbo sami, proti številu prodanih praznih CD-R in RW. Kot da jih uporabniki ne bi uporabljali še za kaj drugega...

Za upad prodaje bo najbrž kriv tudi konec zamenjave medijev, ko so ljudje zamenjali svoje kolekcije vinilk in kaset za Cd-je.

Izumljate toplo vodo.
