“…19 The two published studies that do not find that file-sharing harms sales are Oberholzer-Gee and Strumpf (2007) and a revised version of the Canadian government study using the original data, Andersen and Frenz (2010). Obviously, when studies find no impact of file-sharing on sound recording sales, there is no need to discuss metrics, since all of the metrics will be zero.…”

“…20 Thus, the only study listed by Professors Oberholzer-Gee and Strumpf that can legitimately be used to provide information about the impact of file-sharing on sound recording sales is their own 2007 paper. 21 Oberholzer-Gee and Strumpf (2007) and Andersen and Frenz (2010) are, to my knowledge, the only two published articles that find a benign impact of file-sharing.…”

Although most studies of file-sharing have concluded that file-sharing has decreased record sales, the extent of the decreased sales often seems uneven. This paper demonstrates that the results are more uniform than previously understood once a consistent metric is used to provide easy comparability across studies. This paper uses the percent of the decline in record sales that is due to file-sharing as a metric to translate the results of the literature into a common framework and then summarizes those results. What has not been previously noted is that the estimates from most studies imply that the impact of file-sharing was sufficient to have caused the entire decline in record sales that occurred from the advent of Napster up to about 2005. A smaller number of studies using post-2005 data indicate that the shift to digital formats may also have contributed to the sales decline that continued after 2005.

“…Most of these studies have concluded that piracy hurts (displaces) sales of physical CDs; and that consumers view piracy as a substitute for paid online music and CDs (Rob and Waldfogel, 2006;Andersen and Frenz, 2010;Waldfogel, 2010;Aguiar and Waldfogel, 2015).…”

Resumen Palabras clave Etnografía Intercambio de archivos Comunidades online Redes socialesEste texto es un resumen de mi tesis doctoral en que intento mostrar algunos puntos clave del estudio. He optado por comentar de manera muy concisa las motivaciones que me han llevado a realizar el estudio en Bulgaria pero también mi inspiración metodológica y el trabajo de campo que he realizado. Aquí, introduzco también los tres principales actores en la red construida como resultado del trabajo etnográfico: Proveedores de Internet, Páginas torrent y Páginas de subtítulos. Abstract Keywords Ethnography File Sharing Online Communities Social NetworksThis text is a summary of my dissertation where I try to show some key points of the study. I chose to discuss very concisely the motivations that have led me to conduct the study in Bulgaria but also my methodological inspiration and the fieldwork I have done. Here, I also introduce the three main actors in the network of relations, constructed as a result of the ethnographic study: Internet Providers, Torrents Trackers and Subtitling pages. La industria dicta cuándo, dónde y cómo vamos a acceder al "conocimiento" pero esta posición hegemónica se ve amenazada por la llegada hace dos décadas de Napster que aportó a los consumidores mayor elección para acceder a la música a su conveniencia y a un precio que estaban dispuestos a pagar (Poblocki, 2001). Napster fue el precedente de un modelo de circulación desde abajo que alteró las "maneras tradicionales" de la industria que habían existido desde hace décadas, estableciendo las reglas de distribución, acceso y uso de artefactos culturales. Estos cambios resultaron en la eliminación de muchos jugadores, proceso llamado "desintermediación". Así mismo, las actividades de intercambio de archivos son un desafío muy serio para las relaciones de poder y las jerarquías, a través de unas formas de participación, nunca vistas antes (Vandersen, 2012).
