The Economics of File Sharing

Posted by michael on from the buy-one-get-one-free dept.

Howzer writes "A great Salon article popped up today, and it appears Stan Liebowitz at the Cato Institute is having second thoughts about his paper that was published on May 15. It seems the facts simply don't support his earlier assertion (& the well-known position of all the major recording labels) that downloading hurts music sales. It's good to see this argued from another angle, especially by a guy like Liebowitz."

  1. Semi-OT: piracy image by jcsehak · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I made an image of Bartholomew Roberts' pirate flag modded to have RIAA/MPAA on it. Thought you guys might get a kick out of it. You can grab wallpaper versions here: www.rootrecords.org/joshua_csehak.html.
