Filesharers Spend More Money on Music, Survey Finds

[Logarithmic Limbo]

BI Norwegian Business School, CRIA, study published in Journal of Political Economy by associate professor Felix Oberholzer-Gee at Harvard Business School and professor Koleman Strumpf at University of Kansas, and a dozen more studies has come to pretty much the same conclusion, those who pirate spend more money on media consumption. What RIAA et al are objecting to is that the consumers are not forking over their money to THEM anymore. Games, film, and music industry is growing, but the money does not end up in the pockets of the big wigs, that is what's annoying them.
