Digital Downloads

I have grown very accustomed to download music straight from iTunes whenever I want it, and so has the rest of the United States. According to Casey Johnston, writer for ars technica, "digital music will account for the majority of major label revenue in the U.S. market in mid-to-late 2010." Also, based on the growing rate of digital downloads, she suggests that digital downloads will be equivalent to physical copies of music throughout the world by 2016. I have no knowledge of these statistics but this seems very probable that digital downloads will take over. The digital download of music is perfect for our generation of instant satisfaction; people can get music with one click of a mouse. It amazes me, however, how many people still download music illegally. I predict that the revenue from digital downloads would exceed physical copies right now, if only everyone payed for their download.
