Record industry bleats ... we beg to differ
Looks like the record industry is at it again, what with this story claiming that "Illegal downloads and copying are savaging sales in the music industry" and "recorded music sales figures for the first half of 2005, released yesterday, continue a worrying trend, with sales of CDs, records, cassettes and music DVDs falling 7.54 per cent on the previous year to 22.7 million units."
Over at Razor, however, we're suggesting that the music industry is sabotaging itself, frustrating consumers, and demonstrating that you cannot make money second-guessing the market.

Does this 7.54% figure account for the iTMS sales?
I would bet that the total music sales would have climbed over the previous year.
And finally Australia will get a taste of the iTMS... 19 sleeps to go!
