Just a sidenote.

Whether an industry is making more money or less money has no real factor on how copyright theft directly affects sales.

Lets say i am a singer/artist/video game maker/etc , i produce a piece of work and sell 1 million copies the first year and 2 million the second year, i am doing twice as good. It doesn't matter what number of people stole it, i still did twice as good as the year before. Stolen product affects sales , but you cant go in reverse ind say " because you made twice as much money , copyright theft doesnt affect sales"

Sure i made twice as much money , but without copyright theft i might have made 10 times as much money
