Could The Record Industry Be Lying To Us?

Hardly a day goes past without us being told that thieves and pirates are destroying the music industry through illegal copying of CDs or downloading tracks via the internet.

However, the industry has just announced record sales of CD's in the UK.

So on one hand we're told that no one is buying music anymore, yet at the same time we're buying more CD's than ever before. So what's the truth? Personally I think the sales figures speak for themselves.
