Downloaders Are Big Music Buyers
from the another-study-the-industry-will-ignore dept
Well, I'm sure the music industry will simply ignore this report (or deny that it's true), but yet another study has come out showing that (well, duh!) music downloaders are the biggest music fans and are as likely as anyone else to buy the music they find. The study also found that it's not just teenagers downloading tunes, but people of all age ranges.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Now it's purely about damaging a moronic industry that's completely lost touch with reality.

Re: not me... not any more..
I also destroyed all of my metallica CDs because honestly after the first 3 they really sucked and I can understand why they don't want people to hear other songs on the later albums, that is because they only have 1 good song per album and people won't buy their crap once they hear it.
This is also true for many 1-hit-wonders that rely of decption to sell albums.
