HOW we buy موسیقی has changed inexorably. That is the conclusion of a newly published رپورٹ on the world’s digital موسیقی market.
According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, outlets such as Apple’s iTunes store accounted for 27 per cent of the world’s recorded موسیقی sales last year. The bestselling track online was Poker Face سے طرف کی Lady Gaga, selling 9.8 million units.
Digital sales totalled $4.6 billion, a 12 per cent rise since 2008. Online sales are slowly starting to offset the decline in sales at ”bricks and mortar” record shops.
Nick O’Byrne, general manager of the Australian Independent Record Labels Association, says it is a superficial milestone.
”It’s a hollow victory for record labels after enduring years of declining sales,” he said. ”Digital موسیقی still only accounts for 8 per cent of our total album sales, which pales into insignificance اگلے to the amount of content illegally shared and downloaded.”
Sabiene Heindl, general manager of the موسیقی Industry Piracy Investigations organisation, کہا inroads had been made in countries with aggressive legislation against illegal downloading.
”In South Korea, for instance, the market has rallied back,” she said.
Mr O’Byrne کہا increased distribution to شائقین opened the door to other revenue streams such as merchandise sales and higher attendance at gigs.
”For fledgling artists it’s a case of being pragmatic and moving with the times, but larger labels are still struggling to come to terms with decreasing revenues from physical sales,” he said.
”What’s often forgotten is there are still thousands of people with families, mortgages and rent who are losing jobs within the موسیقی industry as a direct result of piracy.”
