The File Sharing Report

Posted by michael on Saturday September 18, 2004 @09:09AM from the same-old-song-and-dance dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In July, Slashdot posted an article about the file sharing experiment, which was a database where users could report items they've purchased as a result of file sharing. The author has completed the experiment and written a report outlining the results. He offers the philosophy that file sharing is a result of the industry's failure to meet the business models demanded by today's consumer, and provides many suggestions to the various industries on how to take advantage of the market emerging from file sharing to generate revenue."

This doesn't justify filesharing. There are legal methods of obtaining playlists of others.

Because the punk ethos is summed up by flaming people annonymously on Slashdot. What do you do for an encore? Trash your mom's fridge?
