File sharing Oberholzer-Gee and Koleman Strumpf wrote The effect of file sharing on record sales: An empirical analysis, which was published in 2007; and in 2008 was cited during the Pirate Bay trial.
Their analysis indicated that file-sharing of music had negligible impact on CD sales, though this has been disputed by the recording industryCNET retrieved 24/3/2009 and other researchers. However these critiques were never peer reviewed (unlike the original paper) and the authors have received significant funding from the record industry.
