Napster Users = Consumers

37
We havent beaten the Napster dead horse for a little while have we? Well I'll be brief. This new study looks to confirm what many young Napster users have been screaming for a while. Napster users buy more music than most anyone.

Jupiter said it surveyed more than 2,200 online music fans about whether the money they spent on music purchases had increased, decreased or remained the same [snip] All (ed: except one which remained the same) groups said they had increased spending as a result of online music use, Jupiter reported

My concern though is of course students are going to say they buy more music. I dont have a better idea though.. so there. :) While we're on that topic, not to be left out in the cold the guys at Scour.com have been slapped with a lawsuit by the MPAA. Basically the same situation as Napster but the Movie industry. Thanks [Venger].
