I don't understand this comment. It's like talking about sharing the pub experience on the Internet whereas the article was more of an affirmation of the AOL style of distribution/publicity from the 90's. As others have pointed out, Sivers may have over-cooked this example a bit. Statements such as: The people that took a CD became long-term fans and brought their friends to future shows. may make you feel good but there's no way the evidence suggests that.
