A Heretical View of File Sharing

The researchers (and the RIAA, trust me) are shocked, shocked I tell you.
Professor Oberholzer said that he had expected to find that downloading resulted in some harm to the industry, and was startled when he first ran the numbers in the spring of 2003. "I called Koleman and said, 'Something is not quite right - there seems to be no effect between file sharing and sales.' " Story
Something we already knew.
Of course the RIAA can never admit they were wrong. They have terrorized, threatened and intimidated their customers. They can't go back on all that now, can they?
