Last week SFGate ran a story discussing the storm surrounding the unreleased Fiona Apple album. What’s really interesting is that it vividly demonstrates the faultiness of the RIAA fear mongering toward p2p. You see, the album has leaked online and fans are sharing it like crazy. According to the RIAA fictional narrative, this would mean that there wouldn’t be demand for a CD anymore. However, the opposite has happened. Fans are begging Sony to release the album, even setting up a website and, obviously, getting media attention. If anything, we now have a clear example of how p2p can actually create demand for artistic work.
