3 observations made while overlooking pew internet1) Even after Napster was shut down for free file shairng, file sharing still increased and album sales dropped. This is going on because kids want free music, they might just want one song off the album so they aren't going to buy the album they're going to look online for that one track.
2) Album sales dropped from just under 700 million in 2004 to just above 400 million in 2008. People don't need the album when they only want a few songs off of it they know they can go online and find the tracks somewhere.
3) File sharing has polluted the sales of album because people want the quickest and cheapest way to get new music.
Nice!
