Hi Jim,
To be sure, the RIAA will be first in line to blame "Internet piracy" for the recent downturn in album sales.
The thing is... "Internet piracy" is more of a catch-all phrase than an indicator of today's economy. There is no way to accurately track music piracy via computers. Therein lies the fallacy of the RIAA's argument.
The retail cost of new CDs has outpaced the average person's willingness to pay for them.
Just my thoughts.
