Music Industry Adopting Global Release Day?

The music industry is on the verge of adopting a global street date that could see all countries issuing new releases on a Friday, probably beginning a year from now, in July 2015, according to industry sources.
While some sources say its a done deal as far as the major labels and the IFPI and RIAA are concerned, other sources insist the issue has yet to be fully decided. The main reason why the industry is moving toward a global street date – instead of letting each territory pick the day that they feel is best for their respective markets, which is the way it works now – is to cut down on global piracy.
