Digital Music Gains, but Can't Offset Low CD Sales
Posted in: Online TV/Music at 22/01/2010 02:43
Sales of digital music rose 12 percent worldwide last year, but that growth was insufficient to compensate for plunging revenue from compact discs, the music industry's international trade organization said Thursday.
The group, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, used the publication of the figures as an opportunity to renew its calls for a tougher crackdown on digital piracy, which it blames for a 30 percent decline in global music sales from 2004 to 2009.
