KC on the today show this morning stated that filesharing use is down 15% since the riaa terrorist threats.
o, and in the segment they touted the "sales are down 25%" line. classic.

who didn't see that coming...
well you know, they can say what they want but it won't make it true. that's what this thread is for; to counter riaa sponsored media propaganda. todays stats are essentially identical to the ones in the above post by theknife from june 27th, two and a half weeks ago. - js. |

user/file counts still high, still four million plus. if the riaa is having an effect it's not apparent on fasttrack.

fasttrack user's are very comfortable at the four million mark, regardless of any legal actions taken against uploaders - including actual lawsuits. conceivably people could be leeching the system and not sharing but the numbers don't support that theory. although the gig count has been higher at times, at 5.5 it's the same as it was almost two months ago, on july 3rd, before the multi thousand dollar settlements and those stories of poor 12 year old girls bullied and shamed by a reprehensible riaa.
if the suits are having any effect at all on the millions of people who file share it’s not what the riaa had in mind. - js. |

nielsen, whose paying clients include every one of the old line media companies, has been inextricably linked to the media conglomerates for generations, and should be regarded with skepticism during this time, as should anyone using trend extrapolations and statistical samplings to estimate any p2p user bases. for instance bigchampange has come under fire for making file popularity claims in the past and refusing to allow their methodologies to be peer reviewed. there are incompetents and worse making grandiose statements and many have absolutely nothing in the way of empirical data to back them up.
it’s not like we didn’t see this coming, that’s why this thread exists; to counter what is certainly a major misinformation campaign designed to obscure the failures of the industry’s attempts to marginalize and criminalize users of file sharing programs. the fact is that people are trading and sharing files as never before. the networks are filled with millions of users sharing billions of files. fyi, here are this afternoons 2 pm fasttrack user numbers, as healthy as ever. no one ever has to take anyone’s word for this, just log on and download a file or two – and see for yourself. - js. |

and for some that will be every few hours Quote:
in favor of safer new emerging p2p models..and falls in numbers will mostly be a movement of the more experienced file sharers back to irc and newsgroups or maybe to undergound VPN's ,snail mail and sneakernet... a lot of these lost sales are contributed to the internet when i think they are over looking at how people share one store bought CD amongst bunches of friends....with a simple CD burning technology... oh well... to do anything about that, would mean taking on too many huge rich companies ,when taking a bat to the small guy on the internet is so much easier.... these numbers as put by these record companies are totaly suspect as are their profit losses..and have been from the start..and should be independently reviewed before ever being used to back up a case in a court of law.. |

fastrack may stumble but it's very much alive. regardless of pew surveys, user counts remain healthy. add in assorted non-ft traffic (the fastest growing part of p2p) and filesharing is moving forward smartly.

Saw this Wednesday:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06..._piracy_cases/ They're not even counting BT users in the numbers posted. BT2 is just around the corner too.

What Mr. Spratts said.
The 'established media' hasn't had much of a clue of the true p2p scene so far, and we're already four years into the p2p revolution. Instead of digging up the real phenomena and development trends (as you would expect from professionals) they are happy to draw their reports from some simplistic and often dubious statistics. For example, most reporters and researchers still almost totally miss the concept of communities as the living and evolving powerhouse of p2p. And yet communities are the primary force and continuation in p2p - any particular software or network is just secondary and replacable infrastructure to serve the communities. The complex network of personal and community relations extends over the entire p2p ecosystem, and whatever happens on any particular network - even if the statistics were correct - can only give a very superficial idea of what is truly going on. Especially now when a lot of sharing has moved over to WASTE and other private networks the only way to get even a rough idea of the volumes of shares and the amount of traffic is to get involved and become an active and well-connected filesharer yourself. This is of course what millions of common people have done, and so we are in a paradoxical situation where the media is reporting phantom trends from a statistical phantom world to people who know much better and who are happily doing the real thing in the real world - just as they have done ever since Napster happened. - tg
