so if that’s the case, why do the people from music industry is complaining about their sales? I think ,before thinking how to gain a big profit, think about what the music lovers want. As this study shows, there’s actually a good benefit that we can get from file sharing..huh!

I’m always skeptical of studies like this, because it’s very difficult to determine whether a particular person would buy more CDs if P2P downloading wasn’t available.

There’s also the problem of assuming that any results shown for illegal file-sharing would still hold if copyright law were thrown into the wind and such copying were made legal.

Of course, the study looks all professional-like, so I can’t criticize it.

But:

“However, Liebowitz (2004) illustrated that prices for CD albums have been almost constant over a 30-year period (1973-2002) suggesting that changes in record sales would seem to be, of statistical necessity, due to other factors.”

Odd, I’d think more people would be buying CDs now than were in 1973.

But again, I can’t criticize the big professional-looking study.
