Submission + - Can Govt Study Says P2P Downloaders Buy More Music 2
An anonymous reader writes: Michael Geist reports
that a newly study commissioned by the Government of Canada, which
includes some of
the most extensive surveying to date of the Canadian population on
music purchasing habits, finds what many have long suspected — there is a positive correlation between
peer-to-peer downloading and CD purchasing. The Impact of Music Downloads and P2P
File-Sharing on the Purchase of Music: A Study For Industry Canada
was conducted collaboratively by two professors from the University of
London, Industry Canada, and Decima Research, who surveyed over 2,000
Canadians on their music downloading and purchasing habits.
