Online piracy is not solely responsible for dwindling sales of recorded music, says a report.
Media analysts Screen Digest said broader cultural trends and the debut of DVD had left many consumers with much less to spend on their music collections.
But the boom in sales of music through online portals will help to offset the decline in sales, said the report.
However, the decline will only be halted by 2010 Screen Digest predicts.
The decline in sales matches the decline in record produced.
Sagging sales couldn’t possibly be due to today’s music being shit though right?
