Music Industry Should Stop Whining II

Just recently I wrote an entry how at Harvard a study showed that file sharing and decreasing CD sales did not correlate, and that the Australian music industry just had their best year ever.

And now this at Buckman's Magnatune blog:

While the RIAA reports 7% loss of revenue, Soundscan reports a 9% increase. The difference: RIAA bases itself on the number of items shipped to stores. Soundscan reports actual over the counter sales.

Ergo: Shop-owners are keeping less stock, and are following demand more just in time.
