Illegal Filesharing Boosts Music Sales, Says Music Industry

The Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIAA) recently released a study of illegal filesharing and left some interesting findings in its report. For a breakdown and relevant links, check out Michael Geist’s blog post on the matter. For those suffering from link laziness, however, the most important finding is that only 25 percent of illegal filesharers buy less music as a result of their behavior. That means 75 percent either buy the same amount or more music.

I am sure the RIAA is singing “Blame Canada!” now.
