There is an interesting article on the register today about illegally downloaded music and whether itunes has had an effect. Some choice excerpts:
"a few statistics we gleaned at this week's Digital Music Forum (DMF), held only days after Apple boasted of its billionth download, help put it all in perspective."
"Apple has taken just short of three years to reach one billion downloads"
"one billion songs are downloaded illegally every month"
"There are 21 songs bought from iTunes Music Store on the average iPod."
"Aydin Caginalp, a partner at the law firm Partner, Alston & Bird, who specializes in entertainment" :
"The iTunes Music Store [ITMS] buyer buys 25 songs in the first year, 15 in the second year, and in the third year, the battery has died, so you have to go out and buy a new iPod."
"And you paid $300 for that machine," he said, before concluding: "This is why Steve Jobs isn't in the music industry."
