There was an article in last month's RollingStone magazine about a study that Harvard did concerning the impact of illegal downloads on the recording industry. The study found that illegal music downloads are NOT making an impact on the recording industry, and therefore are not the cause of all the money the industry is losing. Of course, the RIAA and the record execs are not pleased with this finding, because it basically means all those people who got slapped with fines didn't do what they were getting sued over.
So why is the recording industry suffering? Its not because I downloaded the new Modest Mouse song or a couple Michelle Branch tracks - Its because they make you pay 20 bucks for a new CD. |
