the RIAA took aim at a report from Jupiter MediaMetrix, blasting it as "flawed".

the Jupiter report suggested that music swapping on the internet led to increased music buying behavior. naturally, this conclusion was at odds with the Big Content party line that file sharing was responsible for millions/billions/zillions of dollars in lost revenue.

the RIAA has issued a counter-survey of its own. the survey was comissioned from long-time Democratic Party pollsters Peter D Hart Research, whose clients include Sen Fritz "Hollywood" Hollings. you'll also find Big Content titans like AOL Time Warner among their non-politico clientele. of course, Hart's results were much more to the RIAA's liking.
