The thing that strikes me, absolutely, is that moment, right in the middle, where the music industry hit its height, and Napster stepped in.
I do think Napster was inevitable, and not the cause of the falloff. The availability of MP3 files over the internet made sharing possible, and piracy an obvious result.
History of the music biz. IN THE US. Come on guys.
I was extremely disappointed too.
So say we all.
Surprised by those vinyl sales up until Naptster.
I want an overlay on this chart showing the proportion of artist pay vs total revenues.
