Link to the full report that this references: http://www.scribd.com/doc/79846477/The-Sky-is-Rising

A quick skim shows that it cites things like youtube, self-published e-books, and indie film distribution websites. I'm sure the RIAA, MPAA, etc. don't count any of that as growth.

Of course not. Industry players that aren't a part of the cartel are obviously not industry players.

"youtube, self-published e-books, and indie film distribution websites."

Does the report consider revenue? Or just eyeballs? At the end of the day, people need to eat.
