Seriously, you can look up the numbers right here on this website.

The gun analogies point, was the point by the way, it basically disproved the arguement that your trying to make here... and yet you keep trying to argue it.  Making the next point, kinda pointless but oh well.

 

As for the research studies.  You do realize they don't actually ask pirates right, they track all this data scientificially?

Torrent sites don't make the research.. they report on them.  These are all government and university studies... and they all say "Piracy has no effect, mild positive effect"  except for one which says "Can't tell".

Any articles you read from torrent sites likely were completely valid.


This is a completely pointless post, however I just wanted to mention that the word scientificially should totally become a proper word.

And just to note, Kaz someday provided me some so called studies from unknow universities with a little number of subjects... And most were unconclusive or used researchs from hackers information, and none were from government - as he says there are a lot of government and respectable univeristy that corroborate his points, but never saw the docs.

It would be mingbloging why large companies would expend a lot on anti-piracy rotines if it really doesn't harm them (and when used the CD comparition he back tracked saying there was a bubble and today you see that no harm is done, even though total revenue is 10% of what it was before piracy becaming rampant) is it millions expended just to have someone to blame when you don't meet your projections?
