    But why do u, aj listee, think people are buying in smaller quantities?
    ---------

    1. the recession
    2. the war - people have better things to worry about than the new janet jackson album
    3. most major label music is manufactured tripe
    4. i think the napster debacle opened people's eyes to the machinations of the industry and can increasingly see through it. they're more aware of the manufactured product vs. the legitimate artist and are going for the latter.
    5. the industry is bitching because sales are merely brisk and not through the damn roof -- and of course they're going to still blame it on filesharing. it won't end until you can be put in prison for downloading mp3's....
