I believe you that there has been no impact to music sales by boycott efforts. This is a very long thread but somewhere in it you will find a post by me that stated the war was over and that the RIAA had won. There was a period of time when a strong boycott with loss of revenues to RIAA may have made a difference. It did not happen. The RIAA found that they could be bullies, thugs, and general creeps, without consequence. The lawsuits are paying for legal cost and are keeping the issue in the press.

I continue to post news to the thread to focus on the larger issue. I long ago predicted that the lawsuits would move to movies, then to software. Stick around. People who think they hate Microsoft now should stick around. Wait until they start suing over illegal copies of Win.

The difference is that people have a place to go. Linux will become bigger when it happens.
