Doh! Survey says P2P doesn’t hurt most artists
Or, thanks to GMSV: RIAA considers "educational lawsuits" against naive musicians
Pew survey on artists, file sharing, and the Internet: Reuters Reuters article – Survey results graphic
Nothing new there. What is significant is that people still take and report such surveys. It reflects the perception, and myth, that artists are involved in the P2P debate, and by extension that RIAA represents artists. While I disagree with RIAA's position and tactics, as a marketer I salute their PR and success in controlling and framing the issue and public mindshare.

Are you a major entertainment company or marketer? Then you need BrandedP2P.
Are you an independent artist or small content provider? Check out the Do-It-Yourself P2P Street Team.
This is sick. You think it’s GOOD that you are STEALING music? Are you paying for P2P music? No, you are not. No one gets money, and you screw up the economy. I hope you get caught and go to jail.

Sasha, a digital file is NOT a physical CD. Very different items. A copyright is not a physical property right. Lastly, there is not a loss of money. The evidence is that P2P has no effect or actually increases sales. For articles and papers that support this, see http://www.diariaa.com/fame-change.htm and http://www.diariaa.com/shame-lies.htm .
Right on, Michael!
