"Here are some numbers from Soundscan that show CD sales are way up in the 1st
Quarter of 2000, against the 1st Quarter average from 1995-1999:
Jan 2000 change from Jan 95-99 average +07.3%
Feb 2000 change from Feb 95-99 average +19.4%
Mar 2000 change from Mar 95-99 average +20.7%
Q1 2000 change from 95-99 average +15.8%
So, sales are up, copying is easy, everybody is suing everybody for millions of
dollars in lost revenue that actually weren't lost."
