Someone could do the math from here, but based on these figures, if you look at stats from what tubes and torrents have what percentage of internet traffic, you could figure out a rough idea on what percent each site has cost the industry in loss of sales. If anyone is up for that, I'd be very interested in seeing it and thank you in advance. It would be nice to know exactly how much each site is fucking us.
"Oh, but tubes bring sales." YES they do. But at what cost? How many sales did you lose in order to get the sales you're getting now?

Actually 21% buy the same as before. not knowing how much that was, their ages, the trends of their buying. Would they be buying more than before if it wasn't free?
8.7 buy more.
9.8 never did and never will. because they can get it for free. and is that number growing with more kids coming online with the culture that it should be free?
The leaders of the big industries are not spending a lot of money, time and resources trying to reduce piracy because it brings more sales. Only a fool thinks that.
Yes the whole "traffic acquiring" thing has cost this industry dearly. tubes are just the latest thing. What's next?
