What?? Downloads beat out CD Single sales? How could this be? After the RIAA put so much time and effort into making us believe that everyone on the Internet is a pirate, stealing anything and everything they can. How can it be that we'd actually pay for our music when it's free in other places? How could the RIAA be wrong? Oh wait, that's right - they're a huge corporation that really has no understanding of new technologies, and rather than trying to grow with them, they tried their darndest to shut them down. Now, it appears that online sales of music have skyrocketed, despite these songs most likely being found free in other places, but I guess now that they've figured out that not everyone out there is going to steal every chance they get, they'll finally embrace digital downloads rather than trying to stop it completely.
