I think the main reason for a small slump in
sales is pretty much due to the huge increase in artists clamouring for

A major reason for the sale slump is people being out of work , or
working for less then they
did a few years ago. The record industry likes to put a lot of blame
on downloading for
their record sales slumping, and don't even mention the economy.
United Airlines and
all of the other Airlines are having troubles, not because people
downloaded their tickets from
a p2p network, but because people don't have as much discrectionary
spending as they once
did.
