» Study Contrasts Real, Virtual Music Sales A new study by researchers at the Harvard Business School and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill seems to indicate that sharing digital music files over the Internet has no effect on CD sales. The study claims to be the first to compare actual downloads of music files with store sales of those same songs. The Recording Industry Association of America has long maintained that peer-to-peer file sharing is the primary reason for the decline in CD sales over the past few years. NPR's Felix Contreras reports. http://www.npr.org/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=2&prgDate=current » I've always said that the record biz in the US is out of touch with customers and that the main reason for the decline in record sales is due to the fact they're still trying to foist 80's rock on consumers. As if people would have bought all the crap they download via P2P networks. That's just an insane concept. It's as if people would have bought every song they heard on the radio. So, fuck 'em all with an unlubricated 2x4. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ Rich Folks and Huge Corporations care about YOU!
