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.

It's not a statement, it's a statistical fact, and the reason why the law won't change.
And who said they lost money? The MPAA? Please....the MPAA has been proven full of shit in Court, they can't provide how or where they got the numbers of "loss" from. That's because it's made up.
Both the music and movie Industries have had record earnings, ticket sales, broke records all over the place last year - in America and around the World. Actually if anything, music has exploded... They didn't lose shit.
I don't get your example.... whatever you think it is, it clearly it isn't.
