De muziekindustrie zit op het verkeerde spoorHoog tijd dat de muziekindustrie eens kritisch kijkt naar haar eigen doelstellingen en vooral haar verouderende business model. Recent zetten internationale platenmaatschappijen Nederlandse artiesten aan de kant met als argumentatie de wegsmeltende winsten als gevolg van file sharing. Harvard Business School gelooft geen snars van die redenering: A long standing economic question is the appropiate level for protection of intellectual property. The internet has drastically lowered the costs of copying information goods and provides a natural crucible to assess the implication of reduced protection. We consider the specific case of file sharing and its effect on the legal sales of music. A dataset containing 0.01% of the world's downloads is matched to U.S. sales data for a large number of albums. To establish causality, downloads are instrumented using technical features related to file sharing, such as network congestion or song length, as well as international school holidays. Downloads have an effect on sales which is statistically indistinguishable from zero, despite rather precise estimates. Moreover these estimates are of moderate economic significance and are inconsistent with claims that file sharing is the primary reason for the recent decline in music sales.
