  1. Re:I expect... on Study: MP3 Sharing Not Serious Threat To CD Sales · · Score: 1
    Do you realize how close this sounds to 1998-esque dot-com business plans? "Let's give away free pies so that, we, umm, can see which pies people like so that we can, umm, sell pies!"
    As a first-time /. poster, I've gotta call BS on that one. It is simply not true depending on your business model. Examples:
    • www.newhorizons.com
    (world leader in IT Training whose whole sales philosophy centers on the phrase "If you can't give it away, then you can't sell it."
    • www.aol.com
    I don't even need to add anyting about AOHell, but facts are facts.
    • www.google.com
    (giving away the searches) Need I go on??
