A research study by Industry Canada finds in Canada most wish their product to to be pirated to take advantage of the viral marketing benefits. Why? It actually is threefold:<br /><br />1. It helps create new customers to those who may not have been exposed to or traditional music buyers.<br />2. When a artist goes on tour in Canada, they found that there is a direct correlation to how widely pirated their music is to the increase in ticket sales at concert events.<br />3. When the artist releases new songs (with their new increased base via viral marketing), it helps increase sales through either digital or CD sales channels. New fans = increased sales.<br /><br />Is it that CRIA is operating on a business model outdated and out of touch with their customers?Dedderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08284591540323826916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20803105.post-88658497301829496672009-06-18T12:32:44.197-04:002009-06-18T12:32:44.197-04:00Found the blog from Michael Geist and I like the c...Found the blog from Michael Geist and I like the content but why isn't the RSS feed offering full content (or even summaries)? Strange for a blog dealing with freeing access and a sure way to limit your audience.

It's one thing to disagree on an issue and search for solutions, it's another thing to blatantly lie (or misrepresent due to incompetence and ignorance) about the facts as the CRIA appears to be doing.<br /><br />I can only hope that more of our government representatives will reread Mr. Geist's recent testimony in Ottawa.Dread Pirate Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425511343089544430noreply@blogger.com
