Radio Stations Learn From Online Music Sharers
from the well,-of-course dept
Well, the music industry has gotten one step closer to realizing the power of music sharing, but are still missing the point. The company BigChampagne, that tracks what files people are trading over file sharing networks (usually so the RIAA can throw up stats and whine about their problems) is now
offering that data to radio stations as someone had the bright idea, “hey, the music that people are sharing online might be the stuff that people really like – instead of the awful music that we play.” Of course, while the industry is suddenly realizing how helpful file sharing systems are as a research tool, they’re still trying to shut them down.

This is interesting!
So, the business model of BigChampagne makes (or going to make) money becuase of file sharing networks. To me, it looks like a viable reason for RIAA to shut down BigChampagne along with file sharing networks, as BigChampagne is stealing music(data) using file sharing networks!
