Digital music made up 35% of all music sales in the first half of 2009, and “is steadily gaining ground—NPD MusicWatch says that's up from 20% of sales in 2007 and 30% in 2008.” http://www.macworld.com/article/142339/2009/08/itunessales.html ibid. “ According to a report by Forrester Research, U.S. digital music sales — downloads and subscriptions — will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17 percent over the next five years, putting digital music on track to make up 41 percent of the music market in 2013.” http://www.vancouversun.com/business/Digital+downloads+kill+music+discs/1436748/story.html “ Digital music sales will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 23 percent over the next five years, reaching $4.8 billion in revenue by 2012, but will fail to make up for the continuing steady decline in CD sales.” http://www.forrester.com/ER/Press/Release/0,1769,1200,00.html As of 2009, “65% percent of teenagers are streaming music regularly, with more 14 to 18 year olds (31%) listening to streamed music on their computer every day compared with music fans overall (18%).” This indicates a continued growth in digital music consumption as this market group ages. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/jul/12/music-industry-illegal-downloading-streaming http://www.macworld.com/article/142339/2009/08/itunessales.html http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6596272.html?nid=2286&source=link&rid=197565212 Downloads comprised 21% of the audiobook market in 2008. http://www.audiopub.org/2009SalesSurveyRelease.pdf Downloads have comprised a larger percentage of the audiobook market every year (14% in 2006, 17% in 2007, and 21% in 2008).

As of 2005: About 36 million Americans—or 27% of internet users—say they download either music or video files and about half of them have found ways outside of traditional peer-to-peer networks or paid online services to swap their files, according to the most recent survey of the Pew Internet & American Life Project. http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2005/Music-and-Video-Downloading.aspx As of 2007: "30% of youth admit to illegally downloading music, down from 32% in 2006, and a remarkable 53% in 2004." http://www.zeropaid.com/news/8802/survey_illegal_music_downloading_by_youth_drops_40/ As of 2008: In a recent Pew Internet Project survey, 15% of online adults admitted to downloading or sharing files using peer-to-peer or BitTorrent. http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2009/9-The-State-of-Music-Online-Ten-Years-After-Napster/The-State-of-Music-Online-Ten-Years-After-Napster/3-Partying-like-its-1999until-the-subpoenas-come-in.aspx?r=1#footnote9 As of 2009, "... less than a third of teenagers are now illegally downloading music, the survey suggests.

DRMed/DRM-Free Music: In 2004, record companies were extremely cautious of selling digital music, and required the use of DRM. In 2005, eMusic, which would have accounted for around 10% of the digital market, was DRM-free. The switch to DRM-free has been extremely recent. As of 2009, adding together the iTunes store, which accounts for 69% of the digital market, Amazon's MP3 store, which accounts for 8% of the digital market, and eMusic, which accounts for 10% of the digital market, means at least 87% of the digital music market is currently DRM-free. As the four major music labels have just committed to eliminating DRM in 2009, this number is expected to extend beyond these major sites, and DRM should virtually disappear. Audiobooks: The sale of DRM-free audiobooks was virtually unheard of prior to 2007; a 1% figure for 2005 seems generous. As of 2009, most major audiobook publishers, with the exception of Audible, have made some percentage of their audiobooks DRM-free. Many of these top publishers have signed on to making their entire catalog DRM-free; a 50% figure for the year seems reasonable. With such a large number of major publishers signed on, and speculation that Audible may move in that direction, major growth (up to 75%) is likely through 2012. Books: Only a very small number of minor publishers offered DRM-free books for sale in 2005 (1%). As of 2009, Amazon controls around 70% of the ebook market, which is entirely DRMed and showing no sign of change. Of the remaining 25%, Sony eBooks, the only other major ebook contender, is going DRM-free. Ten percent of the overall market being DRM-free seems reasonable. Microsoft has also committed to graduating to DRM-free; another 5% of DRM-free growth by 2012 (without any movement by Amazon) seems reasonable. Videos: There has been essentially no development of DRM-free digital video for sale. EMusic is looking into DRM-free video in the future, and there is some speculation that YouTube may develop this in the future as well. With no concrete plans outside of eMusic, it is unlikely that more than 5% of the total video market will be comprised of digital downloads. “ When Apple approached record companies about selling their music digitally five years ago, they "were extremely cautious and required Apple to protect their music from being illegally copied", according to Steve Job’s recollection of the process. That meant using digital rights management (DRM) - a software wrapper - to protect songs from unlimited copying.” http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/may/15/drm.apple In 2006, eMusic accounted for 11% of the digital music market, with a full DRM-free catalog. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/services/2006-07-30-emusic_x.htm All songs in the iTunes Store are now DRM-free. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2009/01/06itunes.html The iTunes Store owns 69 percent of the digital music market. Amazon's MP3 store is a distant second with 8 percent.” http://www.macworld.com/article/142339/2009/08/itunessales.html ibid.
