P2P Downloading Has No Effect on Music Sales According to Research
November 4th 2007 11:20
I must admit that I think theres something wrong here, are the results biased? Are they inaccurate? Do people lie when they say that they still buy music? It all really doesn't gel, but thats what the research conducted in Canada suggests.
Research and Results
In the aggregate, we are unable to discover any direct relationship between P2P file-sharing and CD purchases in Canada. The analysis of the entire Canadian population does not uncover either a positive or negative relationship between the number of files downloaded from P2P networks and CDs purchased. That is, we find no direct evidence to suggest that the net effect of P2P file-sharing on CD purchasing is either positive or negative for Canada as a whole. These inferences are based on the results obtained from estimation of the negative binomial models
