MUSICIANS SURVEYED BY PEW INTERNET & AMERICAN LIFE PROJECT

     The Pew Internet & American Life Project has conducted an online survey
of more than 2,700 musicians to learn their thoughts on music downloading
from the Internet. The musicians (a diverse group of both high-end and
garage-band performers) clearly don't think the campaign against online
music swappers by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) will
help musicians and songwriters. However, the musicians are deeply divided in
their views about the impact of online file-sharing on the music industry,
and they have differing views on current copyright laws. The survey results,
which will be shared this weekend at the Future of Music Coalition, are not
claimed by Pew to be a truly representative view of all the music makers in
America. (Pew Internet & American Life Project 30 Apr 2004)
