The Digital Music Report is out and it claims that 95% of all digitial music downloads are illegal. Bittorrent is still on the rise, but it seems like adoption of digital music services is growing and more music is being consumed now than ever before.

CD sales are still on the rapid decline and sales of downloaded music rose by 6% to 4.6 billion U.S. dollars (3.4bn euros). Meanwhile, nearly a third of the total turnover for record companies comes from digital business.
