i found the print out of the report i was talking about

60 trillion a year was obtained by taking the original market size of mp3 when diamond rio was the only player, and then dividing that into current market size of all devices that use solid state disk etc.

that number is mulitiplied by the total market size if theaters were to high end video at it current price point.

the assumption being new technology would be created at the same rate, as the components of those high end projectors (RGBY etc) become commodized like the solid state disk.

which means the stuff i was talking about here (like the sale of new RGBY versions of the content) was not even included in that number.


obviously it not statistically accurate but it the best that can be done, given the fact that we don't have 1500 fair use (valid sample size) that generated technological growth.




but it 's obviously a lot more accurate then the MPAA/RIAA lost sale calculations especially when you consider that their own research (in the EU) determined that some of those lost sales would have required a person to jump on a plane and fly half way around the world to buy the product.

kane i am still waiting for permision to take your affiliate income if you send to someone who uses my advice.
Fair use prevents me from doing that so i need your permission.
