there was an article in wired magazine about Big Champagne that was really interesting. instead of top down music industry decisions they can monitor kazaa and other p2p program filesharing downloads by geographical region.
with that information the music companies can more directly target an area for promotion of bands with high downloads, or bands with similar types of music, or whatever.
if the music industry wasnt a bunch of coked up dickheads they would see that napster and kazaa and other p2p networks are helping the music industry much more than they are hurting them.
