Legitimate digital music sales grew by an estimated 25 percent to $3.7 billion in trade value, to account for about 20 percent of the industry's global recorded music sales.
But about 95 percent of the music downloaded in 2008, or more than 40 billion files, was illegal and not paid for.
As part of its response, the music industry has launched a host of alternative ways to sell music, such as through subscription models on mobile phones and Internet service providers (ISPs), and on advertising-supported models.
