CULTURAS IN VITRO
Survey: Online music sales kinda blue: The embattled record industry got more bad news on Sunday as a study showed online sales of recorded music dropped 25 percent in the first nine months of 2002.
The survey by research firm ComScore Networks, which monitored more than 1.5 million Web users, showed online sales of music--in the form of physical singles, albums, CDs and tapes--fell to $545 million from $730 million in the same period a year earlier.
