File Sharing and CD Sales, Again

Posted by michael on from the dissection-and-vivisection dept.

Andrew Leonard writes "Stan Liebowitz, an economist studying the effects of file-trading on the music industry, says in an article in Salon that new numbers have convinced him that the decline in CD sales may be partially attributable to MP3 downloading. But he also argues that the decline does not justify draconian new laws."

      I mean really. Do people actually still feel the need to type in the words "first post"???? It seems so ridiculously infantile and juvenile that one would do such a thing, knowing that moderators will just send you down to 0 or worse... come on! I realize this is off topic, but I have had a LOT to drink tonight and feel the need to rant. e

    Please, stop beating it.

    I agree. We should be discussing why Slashdot is running ads featuring John Wayne Gacy.

    Yes, the same John Wayne Gacy that was convicted of 33 serial murders. Whom did he rape and murder, you ask? Why, he raped and murdered small children.

    That's right, HE RAPED AND MURDERED SMALL CHILDREN. And now he's being used to sell things on Slashdot.

    God Bless America.
