I stumbled across whilst doing research for a completely different subject, but found it interesting enough to distract me for a few minutes and thought it may be of interest to some of you. It's from the perspective of UK law, but it's still pretty good. |

There are some slight technical errors in it, but they don't detract from the spirit of the thing. |

In answer to Tolstoyed and Jedi Chris: Tsk! That's what abstracts are for :P (The first paragraph, headed "Abstract" details the report, what is covered and the conclusion they reached. The rest is just there if you want proof or are interested enough to read more) |

Here are the important bits and they are proven further on in the text: Whilst the majority of respondents to the student questionnaire said that they downloaded music from the Internet, those that downloaded the most music also spent the most on buying music. Record store interviewees did not feel that online file sharing was having a detrimental effect on sales in their stores. The authors tentatively suggest that claims made by the music industry that P2P file sharing is severely damaging sales are not supported, and the general decline in sales may be due to a mix of reasons. |
