Seems a Little Fishy
Is this NPD Group survey consistent
with any other similar research? WinMX on top seems a little odd;
has there been an upward trend for them in any other studies? As
Paul Resnikoff points out,
the survey excluded eDonkey, eMule, and BitTorrent, so on that level
alone the study seems fishy. Plus, NPD’s conclusion is rather
overstated. Yes, more and more people are trying out iTunes, but are
they becoming long-term customers? How do the total number of
transactions on iTunes compare to the swaps made on the P2P networks?
Through that lens, there’s still no comparison.
