But how about this? For the sake of argument I will concede that Wired is the ultimate source material on the matter. But right under the article you are citing is a related article by Wired that is titled:

Is Netflix Reducing Illicit File Sharing? Depends on Which Stats You Believe



So according to your very own source, the debate on whether or not Netflix has had an impact on piracy is inconclusive at best.
did you even read the article or are you going just by the title

the negative response completely excluded the dip that happened in DJ graph

exclude the shift from positive growth to a decline and of course the research is inconclusive (remember the -.04% you were harping on)

Quote:
It also speaks to my other point that P2P is simply falling in popularity as the main file sharing vehicle and other methods are gaining like file lockers.

So Gideon, if your own source material calls your argument "inconclusive" do you really want to continue pinning your whole debate on it?
except that conclusion is absolutely false and unsupported by the numbers
web browsing would include all FILE LOCKER transfering and that catagory is going down too

btw the debate is which is better fight or adapt

and given the fact that the fight model only increased filesharing
and adapt has caused a drop (whichyour current counter arguement ignored )
