Pew Study Says RIAA Tactics Are Working

Posted by michael on from the you're-downloading-communism dept.

Furd writes "The Pew Internet & American Life Project has posted a new data study that purports to show that the RIAA lawsuit strategy has successfully reduced P2P filesharing. While the presentation of the data is weak (poor graphics and weak statistics), the report does suggest that there has been a change in the usage of P2P tools."

    So the RIAA's scare tactics work. Huzzah. Welcome to the United States of the Best Attorneys Win. On a related note, I'm sure a policy or machine-gunning random jaywalkers would result in a sharp increase in the number of people using crosswalks. The possibilites are endless.
