«play on; give me excess of it!»
a new study reports that music sharing doesn't kill CD sales.even high levels of file-swapping translate into an effect on album sales that was «statistically indistinguishable from zero». the authors of the study noted the finding that «file sharing has only had a limited effect on record sales. while downloads occur on a vast scale, most users are likely individuals who would not have bought the album even in the absence of file sharing.»
naturally, the riaa (r-not only greedy but stupid and ignorant) claims to even have an argument... the spokeswoman for the nazi-like organisation, amy weiss stated that their «our own surveys show that those who are downloading more are buying less.» what a ridiculous jump to conclusions... perfect example of the fallacious post hoc ergo propter hoc... and american law-makers and judges eat it up... it's so offensive!
