There was an item in Trib today that might be of some interest.
According to a working paper from an associate professor of economics at
UNC, the rise in peer-to-peer file sharing has had no statistically
significant effect on the sales of CDs. I'm sure the RIAA will drop all
their lawsuits right away, now that this data is out. ;-}
The site is http://www.unc.edu/~cigar and then click on the "Working
Papers" link on the upper left.
