I don't believe every download is a lost sale.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When the money dries up, the sites die off. That's the way to go after piracy.
I never download anything; it's crazy! We must keep buying albums and DVDs.
Truth is, people like buying things for $0.99 and $1.99 for their digital devices. We know that from iTunes. We know that from the app store, and now we know that from publishing.
Because Microsoft seems to sometimes not trust customer choice, they salt XP with all these little gizmos and trap doors to get people to try Microsoft stuff. But the reality is that we're downloading more players than we ever have on a worldwide basis.
Publishers see free downloads as threatening the sales of the book.
Nothing exists if a store doesn't buy it and you're not able to get it.
I think that I have sold out sometimes.
For the most part, rock fans don't go and buy CDs any more, very rarely. It's pretty much about downloads and streaming.
With bundled machines you can throw away the hardware and keep the software, and it's still a good buy.
I think downloading is both saving and killing the music industry at the same time.
