The record industry continues to simultaneously regard the Internet as a threat to its existence and the key to prosperity.
While the industry clings to the argument that file sharing hurts sales because people won't buy what they can get for free, record labels have begun to offer free, high-quality streams of soon-to-be-released albums in hopes the exposure will stimulate sales.
