Challenging Music Downloading Myths

The BBC is reporting on a study by digital music research firm The Leading Question, which found that people who download music from peer to peer networks paid for four and a half times more music than regular music fans. Also that most of these people "are extremely enthusiastic about paid-for services, as long as they are suitably compelling." What is nice is that the BPI welcomed the findings that not all file sharers are actually evil... they still pledged to carry on the 'carrot and stick' approach though.

    You may play games with words if you wish. But at the bottom line, it's dishonest, and you know it.

    Why would you pay money for music from a group incapable of filling a 45 minute album with a quality product?

    Good thing there isn't a spelling industry!
