Abstract
About this report
The music and film industry has radically changed in the last couple of years, thanks to the increasing penetration of broadband - which has made it increasingly convenient for music and film lovers to buy via the web.
This has had the effect of driving more physical music and DVD sales online, as well as promoting digital downloads, ensuring that traditional high street specialists have suffered.
Content owners have also been hit by the increasing problem of illegal downloading, which has had the effect of devaluing the value of music for an entire generation of youth.
