Music Piracy

Music piracy may not be as bad for record companies as they think.  While more people are illicitly downloading music than ever before, this has no direct correlation with lost record sales.  Instead, many people use music downloading as a way to test the market.  If they find something that appeals to their specific taste they may go out and buy the physical copy of the track.  The main problem with record companies is that they think every download is a lost sale.  They need to see internet downloading for what it is, a new marketing tool.
