The Cartels seem confused folks, first they claim billion dollar losses and then massive profits and increased market share, what is really going on ???
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5160772.stmUS download music sales increased by 77% in the first half of 2006, while album sales fell by 4.2%, according to research company Nielsen Soundscan.
More than 14 million full-album downloads were bought, compared with 6.5 million purchased during the first six months of 2005.
Country music enjoyed a 17.7% increase in sales.
No doubt they will fall back on using the term "potential losses" later on in the yearly reports when they mislead folks with their bold inaccuracies.
Potentially, I could have a fleet of yachts and a crate of gold bars ...
