All very well, but this quote is spot on

What they are not doing is tackling the real and pressing problem posed by illegal downloading.

No point, the majority of music is so badly produced one might as well listen to it on MP3.

And the music that generally is well produced is for people who don't have friends and think Trons soundtrack will in some way change their life!

I buy CDs because I like to listen to an album, and its cheaper than downloading all the individual tracks. But primarily I want something physical that can be re-ripped if necessary, not some digital content that could disappear forever at the touch of a wrong button.

But illegal downloads and file-sharing and copying are destroying the market - see Box office takings were up in the UK last year despite a decline in the number of cinema visits. - er, wait a minute?

p.s. Yup, the original BBC article does indeed say "a a"
