Michael Geist dummies the recording industry...again!
The saga continues:
Now, the pollster responsible for the results that show P2P isn't actually hurting sales of records is slamming Michael Geist for his analysis of their results. Well, in response to their pathetic spin (what did I say? spin spin spin!) - Michael has dummied them again with his rebuttal.
Seriously, does the music industry EVER get tired of being WRONG?
Give it up already. You're embarrassing yourselves. It's just...sad.

The CRIA admits they are wrong, quietly
Sheesh. Holy slow news....weeks. Anyway, interesting summary of a CRIA study on consumer buying habits by Michael Geist on his blog. Basically, the CRIA study shows that P2P has almost no impact on CD buying habits, and that those engaged in it actually bought more music. It was only one minor factor amongst a whole host of other reasons why people did or didn't buy music.
Funny, seems like that's what everyone has been saying the entire time. Should be good to watch the industry backtrack and spin this one.

More Guitar Heroes!
Well, it's been a week since I updated. It's been a shockingly slow news week lately. But, finally, the gaming news we've all been waiting for was released by one of the executives at RedOctane:
MORE GUITAR HERO GAMES
RAWK. Not just a sequel, but genre specific games. Five or six even! Our cup definitely floweth over. I can only hope that Guitar Hero 2 or one of its associated genre games comes out sooner rather than later. It'll probably be the fall, but we can dream that maybe at E3 they'll announce something sooner.
