Study shows that people who download music illegally 'spend more on music', apparently.
As much as I believe that that might actually be true, and think that suing people (and especially stupid copy protection) isn't the way to go, this says nothing of the sort in reality. What this actually shows is that people who illegally aquire mp3s and therefore are almost certainly inclined towards listening to music on their computer/digital music player are more likely to also pay for music online, which is hardly that shocking a revelation. No mention is made of how much anyone is spending on music in total, despite online spending still being relatively minor compared to that on CDs.
