Actually, the two events aren't comparable. The decline of vinyl record sales to a boutique market was entirely due to the efforts of record companies pushing the CD audio format, ie. making vinyl records highly undesirable for record stores to stock in the first place. Record execs have very little to do with the rise in popularity of (legal) digital downloads, though we can thank Apple for that.
