But the sale of blank media in the country is falling off. In 2007, artists received 200 million kronor ($27 million). In 2009 that income dropped to 113 million kronor ($15.2 million).

Flash memory is both fast and durable.\u00a0The problem was that storage on flash memory was expensive.\u00a0The price of storage on both flash memory devices and hard drives has come down rapidly and it is clear consumers are migrating to these options.\u00a0 Unfortunately the downside is that the ease of memory storage and transfer could make piracy substantially more prevalent.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JULY 18, 2010 \u2022 Copyswede, the umbrella organization that administers fees for copyright groups in Sweden, is looking for a change to adjust in consumer online trends.\u00a0 Currently the sale of Blank CD and DVD media nets artists income to help offset expected losses from piracy.
