Considering nearly every single person on the planet listens to music of some sort, I would assert that that number really is rather small.

- InclinedPlane 15y agoThat number only includes sales of music online in the US. If you add in global sales, CDs, concert attendance, etc. then you get a far larger number. At no point is that number "almost nothing" though. Hundreds of billions of dollars is more than enough to finance the global music industry and provide a generous living for all of the world's musicians.
- burgerbrain 15y agoWikipedia has physical music sales in the top 20 countries at a mere 12 Billion total. Where are you getting your numbers? I am not seeing any numbers anywhere that would suggest anything near plural hundreds. Also note that you are comparing an entire industry to individual technical companies.
