Interesting article on new research which suggests music piracy alone is not to blame for a decline in recorded music sales.

I've always subscribed to the theory that people who access pirated material are not potential customers anyway and would be unwilling to buy the content regardless of the cost.

The question I have is whether increasing availability of pirated music means a growth in people wanting their music for nothing. Certainly it mus degrade the prices paid for the content.

What say you?
