    The Great File Sharing Debate: Is it changing music?

    Hi,

    I’m currently doing my research project on file sharing and digital music, and I am looking for people to take part in anonymous discussions. What I want to do is shed light on the subject from a music fan’s and musician’s point of view, as so far, all we have heard on digital music has been from lawyers and music industry executives. This is an opportunity for you to make a difference at an academic level.

    This research is not tied to the music industry, any legal departments or journalists.

    This research will be an online discussion using a specific instant messaging anonymous forum, with the date and time set between myself and individuals, and should take no more than 50 minutes.

    Only those over 18 should reply to this post if interested.

    Many thanks

    Richard Davis, Social Research Student, University of Essex.

    If you search the forum, there is plenty of discussion on this very topic. Try that, and if you still have specific questions or comments try posting them.

    As to your statement that..."so far, all we have heard on digital music has been from lawyers and music industry executives", I would disagree. There have been PLENTY of musicians speaking out from both sides of the debate. See for example, Prince, Metallica, Courtney Love, Radiohead, Trent Reznor, and many, many others.

    Yes, it absolutely is changing music. But not as much as it will change it when the music companies collapse!
