In the ten years between 1999 and 2009, annual recorded music revenues in the U.S. collapsed from $14.6 billion to $6.3 billion. Piracy in the form of digital file sharing was to blame. By 2019, revenues had recovered to $11.1 billion. Streaming was cheered as the industry’s savior.

Usage of stream-ripping sites, which let users pull and download content directly from streaming services for free, has increased by 1390% in the past three years.
