I got this from another Yahoo group that I belong to. I'm passing it
along just as food for thought.

Industry Canada undertook a music file sharing study during 2006-07 to
measure the extent to which music downloads over peer-to-peer file
sharing networks, for which the sound recording industry receives no
remuneration, affect music purchasing activity in Canada. The data
used for this analysis are from a Decima Research survey conducted
between April and June, 2006, on behalf of Industry Canada. The
report, prepared by University of London researchers, Birgitte
Andersen and Marion Frenz, found that music downloads have a positive
effect on music purchases among Canadian downloaders but that there is
no effect taken over the entire population aged 15 and over.
