Actually, the correct way of showing growth in a seasonal business is Year-over-Year, and not what this article shows, Quarter-over-Quarter, which in retail driven areas are largely irrelevant. That is always why retailers are comparing this Christmas over last Christmas, and not this Christmas over this past Labor Day. Okonomiyaki is correct in implying that one should wait until we see what this quarter (Q4 2005) looks like compared with Q4 2004 before using such growth trends in declaring legal downloads a "dying" business.
