√ In 2002, 803 million CDs were sold.
√ This was 80 million fewer CDs than 2001 and raised fears in the recording industry about the effects of illegal downloading
A 2001 study by Peinz and Waelbroeck concluded that illegal downloading decreased legal music sales by 20 percent from 1998 to 2002.
A 2007 study by Oberholzer-Gee and Strumpf, however, found that illegal downloading decreases sales by only 0.7 percent.
