Video, Software Downloads Overtake Music

I wrote about video downloads overtaking music early in January…now it is official. For the first time last year, music swapping on the Internet was outpaced by the copying of movies and other non-audio files, according to a report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, to be released Monday.

Music accounted for 48.6 percent of files shared online, compared with 62.5 percent in 2002…video accounted for 27 percent, up from 25.2 percent.
