Piracy growing as fewer fans buy downloads
Record labels are losing their battle with digital piracy as the number of people who regularly download songs legally falls back, research will claim today. In the wake of innovative attempts from the likes of Radiohead and Coldplay to develop new marketing and distribution methods, record labels are being urged to overhaul their business models if they want to survive. The music industry had been hoping that an upsurge in legal download sales from sites like Apple's iTunes music store would start to compensate for the effects of online and offline piracy and falling CD sales. But figures due to be unveiled today by research group The Leading Question will show the number of music fans regularly buying downloads falling from 16% in 2006 to 14% in 2007. They also show that, on average, music fans pay for just 3.32 single track downloads per month. While 28% of music fans have paid to download music from a legal download store such as iTunes or 7 Digital, just as many have tried downloading from an illegal filesharing site. Tellingly, 22% have carried on sharing files illegally, but only 14% have continued to download tracks from legal sites. "Many UK music fans are telling us they are dissatisfied with the current legal, paid-for digital music experience," said Tim Walker, managing director of The Leading Question. "They might buy a few tracks from iTunes when they get a new iPod for Christmas, but few go on to become regular paying downloaders." Leading music labels have been undergoing a huge structural shift since Napster in its early days made digital piracy a mainstream activity. The BPI, which represents the British music industry, said download sales grew by more than 42% in the first four months of the year, but that "the digital music business doesn't begin or end with iTunes". Over the past two years it has modified its stance on file-sharing, focusing on reaching an agreement with ISPs to block persistent offenders, rather than suing individual uploaders.
