It clearly shows that the rise of the Internet led to a drop in revenue. Compare the high of 1999/2000 to today. Even the 2003 high of digital is dropping. We never bought the albums, or the CDs. We bought the music on them to listen to.

Now do less people listen to music today or do less people pay less to listen to it?

If it were ever possible to get the same graphs for porn, I suspect it would be similar or worse.

I just like pointing out to all you bright people who "Got how to market online". Exactly what you got. You turned a gold mine into a slag heap.

Of course I'm an idiot who never got it. Sitting here pointing out what happened, after taking the dog for a walk, shopping and digging the garden. Sucks to be so stupid.
