Who says downloading is killing the music industry?!

Okay, so I know a bunch of musicians like Metallica claim that free downloading is killing the music business, but one thing I'd like to point out is that it's not. Downloading is legal in my homeland of Canada, yet VLVODAAHF is 5x Platinum and in America it's only 2x platinum. So f*** off Metallica!

Music sales are down, nobody can disprove that.

However quality control has gone up in some cases
