Richard MentaColumnist, Technology Business Analyst - An MBA from Rutgers University, Menta is noted as the editor-in-chief of MP3 Newswire, where his influential commentaries fostered debate on the burgeoning digital music scene. For example, it was Menta who first proposed the theory that people trade music to sample before buying CDs in his February 2000 article Is MP3 Music a Perishable Product. Later that same year, in his article Did Radiohead take Napster to Number 1, he produced compelling evidence that file trading had significant promotional effect on record sales, an effect that was in conflict with record industry claims that file sharing damaged sales. Menta is also noted for his detailed reviews on early MP3 players and his annual digital media winners and losers list. Prior to MP3 Newswire, Menta wrote a short-lived, but modestly popular humor column called the MentaNet News.
