So, as it turns out, the RIAA has been reporting losses in sales and attributing it to online piracy, yet consumers actually bought more CDs this year than last! The RIAA has been reporting losses in the amount of discs shipped to retailers, while data on the number of discs sold to consumers shows an increase in buying music.
Obviously the RIAA has been using the wrong facts to prove something altogether different. I really hope they get caught on this one.
I can't help but be infuriated by these liars.
Maybe sales are up from last year, but down from like 10 years ago, and they're comparing that. That wouldn't be lying, but definately misleading. Course, they could be outright lying too.
Um... hi!
I'm pretty sure they're comparing 2004 to 2003.
Hi back at ya!
