File sharing[]

Oberholzer-Gee and wrote The effect of file sharing on record sales: An empirical analysis, which was published in 2007; and in 2008 was cited during the Pirate Bay trial.

Their analysis indicated that file-sharing of music had negligible impact on CD sales, though this has been disputed by the recording industry[3] and other [4] researchers.[5][6] However these critiques were never peer reviewed (unlike the original paper) and the authors have received significant funding from the record industry.
