Interview with Felix Oberholzer-Gee, who with co-author Koleman Strumpf "floored the disbelieving music industry with their findings that illegal music downloads don’t hurt CD sales." Some good stuff here, but nothing new for people who have already read the report. Quotable: "The problem with radio as a promotional tool is that it can be quite expensive for labels to get radio stations to play their music. P2P networks are promising because they make the market for music promotion more competitive."
