Well lots really.
We have blogged about the academic nature of the most popular files. We have written about the sociological and commercial benefits produced by many of the downloads

Today, we thought we would give an insight into what little Johnny is doing on his PC.

Loops.
Loops, filters and effects are required by budding young mixmaster composers to produce the innumerable variations that emanate from the ever-growing P2P Fan clubs.

Here is a list of the top 100 loops that are graded by the same methodology as our Music and Video P2P scores.
Suprisingly, many of these files score higher than the files the Music induistry is accusing the world of pirating.

In other words, the tools to create new versions of content, are more popular than the content on which they are are utlisized upon.

The P2P Score for most of these loops puts them above (in popularity) most of the Australian P2P Top 20. (See Top 50 P2P MP3 list. There are three lists in the article – look near the bottom)

At Perceptric, we think that this is interesting.
Possibly rather than condemning P2P, the industry should embrace these new mixer artists and reach a commercial agreement with them. It would seem to make a lot of sense to us.

Here's the list.
