Hmm, an amazing revelation
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4969598.stmUK record companies released 31,291 albums in 2005 - more than double the number released 10 years previously, and almost 2,000 more than 2004.
According to figures published by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), online and digital music retailers are chiefly responsible for the rise.
I hope you all noticed that the BPI ( the UK recording industry organisation ) is hot on the heels of the RIAA in distorting figures and facts to decry P2P users as criminals and I hope they take note of there own figures that once again show that the more P2P usage there is the more sales increase.
