Re: Downloading and the effect on the market
It was once said that file sharing was the greatest marketing tool to have ever existed. I know that there are those who will download instead of buying, but I've always felt that filesharing probably would end up increasing sales since Kid A, which famously leaked on Napster long before the release date, debuted at #1. I think it gave a lot of people who had only heard of Radiohead the chance to actually hear the music, propelling a very non-pop album to the top of the charts.
