"Experience shows that 50% of those who used music download free, it will continue to do so," - says CEO of Universal Music Russia Dmitry Konnov. - The world has seen a decline in sales of music on CDs.

Moreover, it also opaque to the consumer market, where popular "gray" schemes of import equipment. For example, mobile phone manufacturers a clear idea of how many units have been sold for some time. Distributors also information on fees. In this case, the music market is still living under the laws of the 1990s. A striking example - a wonderful magazine Billboard, which came to Russia in April of last year and the year without its traditional charts with sales of CDs. Therefore, all the estimates of the market, about which I speak on, are empirically. As for the sale of music CDs, in 2006-2007, we observed an increase in sales of so-called kirilliki. This is foreign music, released under license in Russia. Recorded growth of this trend, in particular, Universal Music, Sony BMG and Gala Records, which will be published in Russian music from EMI. We came to the conclusion to position the Western versions are more attractive in terms of domestic economy, although there are 100-150 rubles.
