RIAA: Pirates Are Bigger Music Fans Than Average Consumers
After a study pointed out that file-sharers spend more money on music than their non-sharing counterparts, the RIAA felt the need to respond. The music industry group is now characterizing news reports on the findings as “misleading” and is ready to burst the bubble. According to the RIAA there is a straightforward reason why P2P users buy more – they are simply better engaged music fans than average music consumers. … Eh?
Sounds like they need a new business model
Compact Disk brought high fidelity to the masses and audiophiles will never forgive it for that
I've seen other reports like this, and yes, those that p2p consume more. Imagine how much more they would buy if music cost less to legally buy?!
"Always ready with the ray of sunshine"
That looks like about 2 months spending for me, guess we are the outliers.
What I find interesting about those numbers is that both groups are buying typically 1-2 CDs and 3-4 downloads per year. That is not a lot in anyone's books. The real difference is in merchandise and tickets which suggests P2P go to more concerts.
