Apparently not much -- counter to the claims of the recording industry.
Check out this report entitled "The Effect of File Sharing on Record Sales: An Empirical Analysis," about a recent study that noted that illegal music downloads (you know who are are!) have less than a 1% affect on the sale of CDs.
In fact, there was a relationship between high downloads and high CD sales -- of course, depending on the artist.
All this goes to show that we still want our music -- whatever it may be -- and are willing to pay -- or not pay -- for it.
Just wish the recording industy would stop "crying wolf" all of the time about how bad things are ... ![]()
Everybody looked pretty good at the Grammy Awards the other night ...
