Thanks for posting this. The Music Void’s Editor and Founder Jakomi Mathews has written an interesting article on whether or not the Evolution of Digital Media Survey Points to Consumer Rejection of Subscription Services in the UK.

He says that when it comes to the progression from physical to digital ownership of media, the UK population is far from being ‘Space Age’. A surprising number of people are staying faithful to the “old school” method of owning music and films, thus abandoning digital. It’s well worth a read!

Sadly there are few (if any) places to rent cds in the west. If there were, our version of the graph might look quite a bit different …

Ahh, good point! But at least the renttards are ensuring that some money gets towards the producers of the music via the rental shop, and in addition I believe it is actually legal to rip (only analogue?) from rental CDs.

Yeah, but most of the time when Japanese rent CDs, they rent them once, rip the content onto their PCs, then listen to the digital version. Thus the amount of pseudo-freetards isn’t too low, either.
