File-Sharing Boosts Creation of New Hit Music, Research Finds
Found on TorrentFreak on Monday, 06 January 2014
New research published by Tulane University Law Professor Glynn Lunney shows that online piracy is linked to the creation of more hit music.
Keeping in mind that copyright intends to promote “the Progress of Science” by encouraging the distribution and creation of new works, Professor Lunney can only conclude that sharing music without permission of the owner should be legal under copyright law.
The RIAA will continue to ignore these studies, pay for other "independant" studies and keep on harassing everybody, customer or not. The music industry knows that it is not needed anymore in the way it currently exists. Not with a global medium which connects musicians directly with their fans.
