The File Sharing Database

Posted by timothy on from the self-selection-illustrated dept.

Nuclear Elephant writes "The File Sharing Database is an online record of things users wouldn't have bought if they hadn't downloaded it (or part of it) first, and therefore tracks sales as a direct result of file sharing. The RIAA and MPAA claim that file sharing hurts sales, but some recent figures show that file sharing works FOR the industry. This database sets out to prove it once and for all. So if you've ever bought something you downloaded, roll on over and add it to the database."

    No one force him to abandon tape for CD, just as no one forced him to replace his copy of "Porky's" with the Anniversary DVD edition.
