Digital music sales increased a whopping 122% last year in Canada while overall music sales increased just under 10%.Worthwhile knowing, because the CRIA claims we need to undo electronic fair use rights because music sales are slipping. In particular, they've claimed that the slow adoption of e-music services is directly attributable to Canada's "lax" copyright laws.
On the other hand, overall album sales decreased by almost 5%.
One wonders, with a double-digit increase in overall music sales and a triple-digit increase in online music sales, who we're really protecting, and from what.
