There was never any way to measure how many people were buying those CDRs, whereas it is relatively easy to measure how many people are downloading them. You might think it is much more prevalent now than it was in the past, but that is only because it is more visible.

What will be interesting to see, is what happens to entertainment industry profits when downloading is forced back underground where it was before. I believe they will fall back down to the level they were at pre-download era. Mainly because of all the people who will go back to buying CDRs.
