Quote:Do you think the industry is meeting demand for digital music? Is it successfully safeguarding the future of music? Are the restrictions on the use of digital material justified?

Send your questions below. Your points can relate to the music industry's current practices or the future direction of digital music.

We will post a range of questions here and pick the eight most common and important ones to be answered by the panel. Their responses will be published on 24 January.

The music panel comprises:

* Brad Duea, president of Napster, once the scourge of the music industry and now one of the largest legal music download retailers.

* Peter Jamieson, executive chairman of the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), which represents the UK music industry and has been leading the anti-piracy campaign in Britain.

* John Kennedy, chairman and chief executive of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), the trade body representing record labels worldwide, which has been instrumental in the global fight against piracy.

* Steve Knott, managing director of HMV UK & Ireland, a leading high street chain that has recently opened its own online download store.

I can't think of any questions to ask though Baffled Maybe some of you could come up with some which have been brought up time and time again on here.
Roll Nobody then?

Here's my question:

Do you not think that the slowdown in music sales is due to the fact that people can now 'try before they buy' meaning that before purchasing an album, people download it to see if they like it?
