P2P: Devil or scapegoat?

A poll ordered by "la FNAC" (trans.: one of the main French reseller for computing, photo, video and audio devices, and books, CDs... A bit like a Virgin Megastore.) has once again an interesting outcome. It concludes that out of the 15% decrease in sales of CDs, only 2% or 3% are related to illegal downloads.
The reasons are going to be so painful for the majors that they will probably deny totally those results:
- Aging of the compact disc media
- Ineffective price management
- Decline of the investment
- Competition of other products on the entertainment and culture sectors...
We have often wished that the regarded industry question itself rather than accusing others for its counter-performance.
In the same time, the ADAMI (organization managing the copyrights of authors and composers) propose to legalize the P2P in settling a tax gathered by the ISPs. We already gave our point of view on this(HERE).
The iTMS is supposed to arrive tomorrow, and it would be wise that all the concerned people accept a moratorium of several months, in order to evaluate the effects on illegal P2P of legal offers proposing a wide choice.
