I have bought countless CDs after downloading MP3's of artists I
have never and would never have heard of if it wasn't for file
sharing. File sharing has done nothing to the recording industry.
They don't understand it and want it stopped so they'll come up
with all kinds of figures to prove it's bad. Fact is they haven't lost
anything like what they'd have you believe. All they have lost is
total control over the industries market. Now we're getting so
much better music then the crap they were force feeding us 5-7
years ago.

Tours don't make money, if you've ever organised a public event
like a festival or whatever then you'll know the costs that go into
these things. Tours make CD sales they are promotion not
revenue raising. I'd say any 250% increase is probably to cover
higher insurance costs.
File sharing is the best thing to happen to "music" in the last 300
years, since Mozart first setup the well tempered keyboard and
allowed us to share written music with each other across the
world.
