Suppressed Report Found Busted Pirate are good consumers

Quote:
The study, which was carried out by Society for Consumer Research (GfK), found that users of pirate sites including Kino.to did not fit the copyright lobby-painted stereotype of parasites who take and never give back.

This, the survey claims, leads pirate site users to buy more DVDs, visit the cinema more often and on average spend more than their ?honest? counterparts at the box office.

?The users often buy a ticket to the expensive weekend-days,? the report notes.

In the past similar studies have revealed that the same is true for music. People who pirate a lot of music buy significantly more music that those who don?t.
