With what justification do they think that data should be hidden from the people? Do they really prefer being lied upon/spinned around like a spintop?

It's quite possible that NPD has a permanent lock on that data... but who the heck are those idiots that do such pointless exclusivity deals in the first place?

And no, Shadow, the data we have might not be perfect and increasingly hard to get, but that certainly doesn't mean we should stop trying.

They didnt say that, they said there is no incentive for companies to give out data like that to the general public so they dont.

If it weren't so costly, I'd try to go to court with them, blaming them of fraud and tax evasion, that they don't declare all their sales and thus their income. And argue that because of this, it's a public interest to have access to the sales numbers, as it would make fraudulent actions more difficult if everybody had an eye on them.
