File-sharing, for years, has been one of the copyright industry’s favourite scape-goat. Lately, British news sources have received a fresh dose of “studies” where the copyright industry through government officials have been saying how file-sharing costs British artists billions thanks to the millions of file-sharers in the UK. While the numbers have since been cast into doubt, one journalist from the Guardian did some research of his own and discovered that while music sales have fallen over the years in Britain, they have likely fallen thanks to growing video game and DVD sales.
