Downloading music increases cd sales

Posted in General by Bes on Mar 30, 2004

For people who read my post about the RIAA [Recording Industry Association of America] claiming to loose sales because of music sharing, you maybe in for a treat.

Harvard University and University of North Carolina concluded from a study that music sharing does not kill Cd sales. The RIAA is claiming that the study is a contradiction to the studies done on this matter before. The study also found out that for the top 25 percent cds [by popularity], 150 downloads per each song actually increased sales by one copy.

It is probably time that the RIAA focus more on internal issues rather than outside ones. There maybe a bigger problem floating out there than music sharing tools. Researching further into this should lead everyone into the right direction other than the courts.

    Tammy, thanks for the comment. I apologize for the late reply. I was traveling and got back recently.

    True, there are many people who cannot afford to buy a cd, and many who cannot even afford to download a song. I think it boils down to this: someone is selling a product and they want to charge a lot for it, while customers think the prices are too high and they want the product for free.

    Thanks again for your comment and for the visit. I really appreciate it. Smile

    well, I have even read news that downloading music to some extent has lowered down the CD sales in the markets and nowadays there is also a big issue of piracy going on where people mend to buy a cheap pirated copy rather than going for an expensive original copy.
