But what people post on message boards and what they actually do are two different things.
Look at PC game statistics. A game will sell 1 million copies, but download stats will show over 10 million torrent downloads. Same with apps even, an app publisher recently put out a soccer game. Over the weekend they saw that 200K users were on the server, but when they got the sales stats on Monday, only 100 were actual paying customers, the rest were pirated. The article was on Techcrunch recently.
There needs to be a new model, but what people post on message boards is not proof or research data since it doesn't even come close to being in line with what actual statistics of what people really do.
