"As Techdirt has noted many times, much of the debate around filesharing
is driven by dogma rather than data. That's beginning to change,
although there has been a natural tendency to concentrate on economic
issues: that is, whether filesharing causes sales of music and films to
drop or not. But copyright is not fundamentally about making money: it's
about encouraging creativity. So arguably a more important question to
ask is: does filesharing harm or help creativity?"

Interesting research.

Share and enjoy,
