When Pigs Fly: The Death of Oink, the Birth of Dissent, and a Brief History of Record Industry Suicide.
Just as valid, much better written and, to my mind, a firmer grasp of reality with less "head in the sand" ranting. Spotify is already heading that way. |
The independentstudies were listed in my first reference. It already established that there was a scholarly consensus that piracy causes harm. You apoparently disagreed with that consrensus, citing the indentity of the person posting the studies( as if that had any nearing), so I cited two musicians, one of whch was an economuist, whob supported the scholarly consensus.
So far yopu have cited ONE non scholarly source in favor of your "piracycauses nio harm" position.
