You are absolutely right. File sharing has nothing to do with it. People used to share tapes of records back in the day, but that didn't stop staggering increases in sales which went through the roof. Even back in the late 80's, you could copy and share CD's in full quality, but that didn't stop the surging music industry's ever increasing profits. Enter the 90's. Grunge came along, and not as many people wanted the CD's, but I still think their sales were still increasing.
Come the 2000's - what new has transpired? What new music type have they invented in the last 15 to 20 years? Nothing. I can't think of any new genere at least. Its rehashed music, and half the tracks have either instrumental tracks ripped from older music, or even sound bites from older music in it. Then you have your re-do's that make you cringe because they sound nothing like the original and its all screwed up. Tack on managed music with no singing ability at all - what are they doing? Talking and cramming as many words as possible into a section of music without singing or going with the music itself one bit? Its terrible! I don't want to buy music like that! DJ's and such in the electronic / trance music, coupled with some New age styles is all I like anymore, and you rarely find these in record stores. I usually have to import it.
Basically, they are using file sharers as an excuse or fallout guy for their stock holders.
