A detail that seems hidden in all the fuss over declining music sales by the RIAA and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), is the fact that people bought over $9 billion USD worth of ringtones worldwide last year. That's right, $9 billion USD! This is about a 41% increase over last year and is expected to hit about $32 billion USD by the year 2010.
<p>What makes this so odd is that on average we're talking about people shelling out $2 bucks for a 10 second clip of what they could normally purchase in it's entirety for half the price. That's 3% of the real product
