Did you see the stat from earlier in the thread? Only 2% of all records released in 2009 sold more than 5,000 copies.
That means that while there are far more people printing CD's these days, far less are actually buying them and even less are making any type of impact, musically or socially.

Yeah, I actually defended that stat when it was questioned earlier. I also wasn't worried about selling in excess of 5,000 CDs. We were just looking to get people into the bar to hear us. Having 1,000 CDs in circulation did the trick for us. We weren't out there trying hard to get signed.
