Name me a music label or a movie company who think Big Champane are anything but shysters. No one trusts them. Wheres the detail on how they get those numbers? The stuff on their website is rubbish.

that’s good to know.

but it seems more like an informal stepping stone for nielsen to merge with or buy BigC, with the possibility of selling their services to so-called “authorized” p2p services in the future. apparently they feel that they shouldn’t ignore p2p anymore and want to get in now so they can control advertizing prices later on.

just as cnet has bought tvtome - buying a popular website and indexing service without having to do any of the work, so it looks that way here.

is BigC going to sell out, do you think? it looks that way to me.

does this mean you won’t be able to use their stats anymore? or that you’ll have to pay them for the info?
