[IP] More on: A Heretical View of File Sharing
From: "Bernard A. Galler" <galler@xxxxxxxxx>
** I recently talked to a class of about 100 Engineering students at
Michigan about copyright, and we got into a long discussion of music
downloading. Almost all of them admitted that they had done Napster-style
downloading, but many of them said that they still purchased CD's.
The overwhelming opinion of the students was that they would purchase many
more legitimate albums if (1) they contained more than one song that they
wanted, (2) if singles were more available, and (3) most important, if the
price charged was more in line with the value they thought they were
receiving. They thought that Apple's deal with iTunes was a major step in
the right direction, but it represented only a minor part of the available
music.
