Songs that were heavily downloaded showed no measurable drop in sales, the researchers found after tracking sales of 680 albums over the course of 17 weeks in the second half of 2002. Matching that data with activity on the OpenNap file-sharing network, they concluded that file sharing actually increases CD sales for hot albums that sell more than 600,000 copies. For every 150 downloads of a song from those albums, sales increase by a copy, the researchers found.

Spyware Rules
2004-03-26 — Admiral JustinRemember these simple rules:
I will not download stupid shit online.
If it sounds to good to be true, then it most certainly is.
Read all End User License Agreements.
Spybot and Ad-aware are a fine couple.
Hijackthis is not the be all and end all, but it is a beginning.
A real firewall is mandatory, ICF is not a real firewall.
There are free antivirus programs.

ASAP
2004-03-22 — Admiral JustinI’ve just joined ASAP
ASAP stands for the Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals.
ASAP is made up of website/forum owners and administrators, forum staff, individuals, companies and various organizations who all provide security related support to computer end users.
ASAP is a joint effort designed to assist helping end users with as seamless a process as possible by using methods such as cross-referrals, multiple product support services, easy information access, and cross referencing/verification.
ASAP’s goals are:
To ensure a high standard and quality of security support no matter where you seek help.
To promote the products used to keep your computer clean and safe in an equal and fair manner.
To ensure that end users are not affected by so called “product wars” and unfair marketing tactics which have plagued several industries in recent years.
In light of recent DDOS attacks on various support sites, ASAP ensures that quality support and assistance will continue – knock one of the support networks out and another will pick it up immediately. In addition, pooled resources will permit the ability to provide support redundancy, thereby adding additional protection against Internet based threats.
If you see the ASAP logo or banner used by a site, bulletin board, or person, you can be assured that you’re getting the best support and assistance possible, as the combined efforts of all ASAP members are involved in helping everyone, and we won’t give up until you’re important investment is safe and clean.
ASAP is a non-profit volunteer network.
