Mark Cuban:

November 9, 2004 by Michael Boyle

Mark Cuban:

When will the music industry do it right? “That big bad boogieman of piracy is blowing down everyone’s house. The poor music industry. Except of course that there is nothing more than anecdotal proof that Peer to Peer networks hurt music sales, and to counter those, there are studies and anecdotal evidence that the sampling opportunity that P2P networks create actually help sales.”

    I have to say, I bought more music CDs because of the er, illegally downloaded music my brother supplied me to listen too, than I would have – more than likely – if he hadn’t.

    I listened to stuff I would never have and, as a result, bought.
