this reuters report<\/a> (via abc) has a line i just wanted to put “on the record”<\/p>\n

According to London-based research firm Informa Media Group, the retail value of global music sales will drop to $28.2 billion this year from $30.9 billion in 2002 and to $28 billion in 2004 before returning to growth in 2005 as new Internet music services take off.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

update<\/strong>: since this was such an interesting statistic, i decided to go looking for an original source. i found this from a this from a november 2002 report by the same research company:<\/p>\n

so, that’s interesting reading, but then they say this:<\/p>\n

Digital music sales will increase in the years to 2007 but will remain a niche sector. By 2007, digital sales will account for an estimated 1.2% of the global total<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
