There is another study out, this one by an assistant professor at North Carolina State University, claiming that piracy actually boosts music sales. There is a link to the 37 page report that explains in detail how this guy came to this conclusion.
A new academic paper by a researcher from the North Carolina State University has examined the link between BitTorrent downloads and music album sales. Contrary to what’s often claimed by the major record labels, the paper concludes that there is absolutely no evidence that unauthorized downloads negatively impact sales. Instead, the research finds that more piracy directly leads to more album sales.
