Were talking about piracy, we need to look back BEFORE the Internet... so please stop pretending that the data is Jurassic....
Much of the research is peer-reviewed, just because a blog talks about it, and links to the source, doesn't meant he source isn't reviewed. Almost all the purchased "marketing research" is reviewed, and allowed in Gov, Courts, used in Universities all over the world accept and use this market data.
Even the MPAA can't hide the facts anymore... they can't lie, twist, or anything... Piracy is making them grow, every report is showing it, and it's driving them mad.

Decrease? Are you bind?
Years per # set --->
(1995) $5.29 $5.59 $6.51 $6.77 $7.30 $7.48 $8.13 $9.19 $9.35 $9.27 $8.95 $9.25 $9.65 $9.85 $9.93 (so far 2009)
That's growth, making 09 (which isn't over) the biggest in 14/15 years, actually it's EVER!
Damn near doubled... that's the most fucked up degrease I have ever seen.

Nice 2 cents... but it's not backed by peer research.

That still doesn't prove that pirates pay MORE money to Mr. Music - or Little Miss X . How are you going to compensate for their loss? And how are you going to compensate for the lower quality?

So basically, you read the paragraph I posted and not the report... that's what I expect from gfy's finest.
Anyway...... moving on.
