The death of dodgy downloads

Recommended Posts

Stand by for the death of illegal music downloads. It is already gathering pace, with legal downloads being one of the fastest-growing activities on the web. It is not happening because of the music industry's rough justice (such as suing customers) or because of penalties for people caught downloading illegally.

This year is the most successful in British history for singles sales. More than 117 million have been sold — comfortably beating the previous record of 115.1 million, set last year."
