[AusNOG] UK Study shows internet piracy not sole cause of declining music sales

[Darren Moss]

Hi Noggers,

Interesting study in the news here today regarding a study from the UK which challenges the music industry's claims that declining sales are directly related to downloading/file sharing.
The outcome is that the study claims music sales might be declining, but it's almost certainly not due to people downloading.

A different tact, that maybe AFACT could adopt, is to increase interest in sales by making music more accessible via the internet.
