Richard Warner, a California wine merchant, paid 4000 to settle a file sharing case after owning 500 CDs and 700 vinyl records. The industry sees growing digital sales as a path to recovery, with 19.2 million digital tracks sold in six months and major moves by Apple, Wal Mart, and Napster to offer online music. The shift comes amid declining physical sales and a push toward digital rights management and subscription models.
