A new infographic from D. Israel Peralta compiles data from various industry sources and Oddee.com to show how the music industry’s published figures about piracy compare to other external sources. Some numbers worth looking at:
- Digital music has grown from $20M in 2003 to $4.2B in 2009
- The industry claims 95% Piracy Rate, while only 10% are seen as a loss of sales
- The Average teen’s iPod has $800 of Pirated Music
There is also breakdowns of where the $15.99 of an Album sale goes, along with individual figures for the major labels.
Full-size after the break.
