Jupiter Media Metrix survey found the fact that most of us already knew -- use P2P tools and you're more likely to buy more music.
34% of P2P networks' users said that they're increased the amount they spend on music CDs because of the P2P usage. 15% said that they spend less money now when they use P2P networks and 51% said that they spend the same amount as before P2P.
This is compared to people who didn't use P2P networks -- only 19% said that they've increased the amount they spend on music CDs annually. Other technologies, such as CD writers or MP3 players, didn't impact on music spending at all.
Only problem is just to get courts to understand this...
