Steve,
This site sells the report for $20. Can you summarize its findings?

The CLIR- Council for Library and Information Resources has just published
a study on this very issue, framed by Tim Brooks and scut-worked by the
undersigned. I have a published copy and assume it is posted on their
site.
It's pretty scary, and will be followed by one on copyright law.
They are a look at the facts and numbers as they are, not as any side
wishes them to be.

I get the sense he's a very shrewd business man too, and I wouldn't be
surprised if his venture is pretty profitable even though it seems
labor-intensive. I've read several interviews with him, but he never

or prosecuted.

And, what really gets my goat...here, instead of having a record sale, I
was forced into selling off duplicate 78s in a single lot. Not all of it
was great, but some of the items were of value. About 5,000 discs sold

$10. I just don't understand the thinking.
