That's got to be the most insulting statement in the world to the movie and
music industry that lost all the money that went to content thieves in that report.
What a crock of shit.
That's like me stealing your car and then claiming that using the car as a taxi produced
revenue of $50k and therefore stealing cars is good for the economy while
ignoring that you got fired from your $50k job because you no longer had transportation,
and subsequently defaulted on your $200k mortgage which forced the bank to sell it
for $150k.
