Musicians surveyed on file sharing
The Pew Internet & American Life Project has conducted an online survey of more than 2,700 musicians to learn their thoughts on music downloading from the Internet.
The musicians (a diverse group of both high-end and garage-band performers) clearly don't think the campaign against online music swappers by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) will help musicians and songwriters. However, the musicians are deeply divided in their views about the impact of online file-sharing on the music industry, and they have differing views on current copyright laws.
The survey results will be shared this weekend at the Future of Music Coalition summit.
