' "10.1% of 12-17-year-olds who actively download music from the Internet did not purchase a single CD or cassette in the last 12 months."
Or 90% 12-17-year-olds did purchase CDs even though they actively download music from the Internet. In other words, the record industry is having excellent penetration in a market where most of its audience doesn't have a paying job. As for the other 10% can you honestly assume all would have bought CDs if there were no file trading?

At $20 a CD now, I say a good percentage of teens simply can't afford to buy music very often anymore. They will when they can, but frankly many adults of ample means are questioning if a CD is a good value anymore. I'm sure a few teens are too.
.....
"When it comes to download compensation, teens and young adults are more sympathetic to the plight of musicians than toward their record labels."

As it should be.'
