Online music sales up tenfold in 2004
LONDON - Global online music sales rocketed in 2004, with a tenfold increase to more than 200 million paid-for downloaded tracks, a recording industry body said. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) added that the fight against hacking and illegal downloads made significant progress as consumer attitudes and copyright law changed. The number of legal music sites quadrupled to over 230, while the available music catalogue has doubled to more than one million songs during the same period, it said. The IFPI, which represents over 1,450 record companies worldwide, said the supply of music available digitally was proliferating across online and mobile phone platforms.
