My apologies if this has been posted already, I tried searching but couldn't find.

Basically it says that p2p has little to no effect on record sales.

Many have hinted at this, showing that the economy has gone DOWN, but record sales have only gone down a fraction of that amount.

Now we finally have full scale brainiac study to show the public. Hope the guy is a good public speaker.

If they really wanted sales to go up they'd lower the prices to something reasonable. $20.00 an album isn't exactly my idea of reasonable for a piece of plastic.

I think they (music industry) should study why people moved to p2p in teh first place, and sympathize... they can't afford 7 albums at $21...so they download.
