Comparing sneakernet with 100mbps lines, VHS with Blue-Ray writers, audiogalaxy with rapidshare and high-speed torrents etc.. yes, that is jurassic.
Back in those days pirates were actually pirates, and not spoiled kids who tried to justify their activities in public...

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.

If you conclude and read the data they way you want to, then it's useless to link only. In the paper you posted above, they conclude the opposite of what you trying to say

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.

You are blind. Read what they say;
Note: in order to provide a fair comparison between movies released in different years, all rankings are based on ticket sales, which are calculated using average ticket prices announced by the MPAA in their annual state of the industry report.
And you know as well as me, that the amount of piracy exploded on this side of the millenia. From 2002 there is a decrease in ticket sales each year, except for 1. Oh.. and did I mention the population is also increasing?

Doh! They write they have legal partners and you can go their portals. And what do the torrentsites, rapishare etc write on their pages? Please tell me.. or do you need peer-reviews for that?

No, I read what you didn't their hole conclusion. And not out of context. I think you should read it, and then you will see they are talking about the overall welfare transfers - Socialism and piracy at it's finest...
