Research: File Traders And Music Purchasing

An anonymous reader writes: "Like a TV preacher taking excerpts from the Bible to support a contrary thought, the results of research can be similarly interpreted in opposite ways. Edison Research just released a pro-record industry report stating '10.1% of 12-17s are actively downloading/not purchasing music.' Richard Menta over at MP3 Newswire noted that this also means 90% of file traders are buying music, a positive result that supports the virtues of trading. Menta then goes through the study's findings one-by-one, questioning Edison Research's conclusions. This includes their recommendation to the industry to fight the 'downloading problem.'"

I like to watch music videos on MTV, VH1 and the country music channel with the TV sound muted while Winamp is playing. It's kind of funny when the music and videos sync up, actually, which is more often than not.

Re-read my post. I didn't say that it all sucks. Just most of it. How do you people get modded up? I think the moderators don't like me or something.

Even your Dad would have liked you to use the spell-checker once in a great while.
