I have an MP3 player, I have an
iTouch, my wife has an MP3 player and we were seriously considering getting one for our 13 month old baby.
The truth of the matter is that I have not actually bought a CD or music online for years. Maybe 5 years. All of the music I have on either of my digital music players is from discs I bought in the beginning of the century or stuff I downloaded of the interweb in the last year or two.
Have I caused the downfall of the music industry? Probably..... not. Have you and i together created a huge vacuum where their bank balances used to be? Highly unlikely.
What is the real effect of piracy on the music industry, a world wide business of over $60 BILLION a year??
