So why isn't the RIAA trumpeting this affirmation in music sales, and something of a renaissance in its business efficiency?
Perhaps because the RIAA's version of the truth doesn't fit with the facts. Zieman points out that only 3,000 sales of each of the missing 12,000 titles would have been enough to see overall growth continue to grow.
I have to say I agree with the authors summation that the RIAA is doing an excellent job of imploding on its own, without any help from us. However, I prefer to err on the side of caution, so I'll still do anything I can to help make the RIAA go away. ;)
