How many people were surveyed? 3? 100? A million? What was the target demographic? Geeks? Musicians? Audiophiles? What percentage of the unfavorable survey results were discarded? This is known to happen, routinely.
This is just propaganda from the record label cartel. Why not throw in the "MP3 piracy supports ay-rab terrorism, another 9/11 is coming" cliche as well?
I can admit to downloading music from the net, but it works both ways. After listening to the MP3's, there were some artists whose music I liked so much - when I couldn't find their music at the local CD stores so I special ordered such music, paying a hefty postage fee. I tell you, I'd have never done that had it not been for music downloads.
