Gideon must think every nation in the world can afford the same and pay same state subsidizations.
it way easier to do the study in such a country.

see the above canada short fall example to see all the extra work you would have to do in another country.

btw norway also doesn't have the operating here restriction like canada does, so income has a global income influencer to it too.

not only is it easier to get the raw data

norway has a piracy tax, which is revenue allocated based, which means declared revenues can be extrapulated from the claimed revenue for the tax credit

I love these kind of cherrypicked "researches" and then post it in an off-topic context. What has music in common with porn industry anyway?? It's like telling Africa is too cold because the North Pole have ice.
about as much as the mainstream movie industry had in common with the porn movie industry in the 70 when betamax was a piracy problem for mainstream and a massive revenue boost for the porn industry.

5 years later mainstream finally realized what they could copy from the success.

nothing is so totally unique you can't adapt something from it.
