I suggest you research and read references yourself, before calling other lazy  |
Ok again... I took a random pick out of the top 5 results, and posted the statistics. Do your OWN research, rather than me just picking 5 random things from 1 google search result.

It's not for me to learn the difference on... the consumer doesn't think it's stealing, they call it sharing.
So go argue with the billion people that think differently than you.

Yeah, sorry I forgot you can't place it into context. I meant pirate torrents of course. Now, go to any pirate torrent sites top500 and tell me how much percentage is legal content  |
Well... I put my content, our music, our pictures and art on torrents, forums, etc all the time. Of course people use it for piracy, every public service on the Internet has piracy on it, and it's big on all of them.
And I will wave goodbye to them too. Just like news services and forums that went paid. Statistically speaking, less than 2% of the people will pay it makes no difference what the service is.
It is after all, an 'extra' cost on top of the 'Internet' Cost on top of the Product Purchases that they make.

I said the Music/Movie "Industry" doesn't like it. Musicians and Artists, love it.. Those are two totally different things.
You can keep trying to twist the URL's I posted (or words) as "the facts" we are basing this off of all you want. When I have stated, this is 1 (or a few) examples of 10,000's of hours of research.
At the end of the day, you posting equals you not researching anything.... that's all I see.
