Well . . . I mean . . . Obviously you are looking right at the chart and failing to realize that the measured unit is Dollars, not units sold. If the same number of units sell for less, Dollar sales decline - but people are still paying for the same amount of music, essentially.
Uhm . . . yeah. Point others made was that people won’t be able to make a living off of recorded media NOW. But there is a larger dollar volume of sales NOW than there was in 85 - when, I guess, they WERE making a living . . . or at least that greedy 5-10% . . .
Let the Revolution Begin!
