I stumbled across this
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.
