A new academic paper by a researcher from the North Carolina State University has examined the link between BitTorrent downloads and music album sales.
Contrary to what's often claimed by the major record labels, the paper concludes that there is absolutely no evidence that unauthorized downloads negatively impact sales.
Instead, the research finds that more piracy directly leads to more album sales.
For more than a decade researchers have been looking into the effects of music piracy on the revenues of the record industry, with mixed results.
