kudos:1 | Take Issue with Touted Lost Revenue Numbers
Though I am dead set against piracy and do not endorse nor participate in the practice. I do take issue with the lost revenue numbers that are typical touted. They are ludicrous. For instance just because n copies of x material are pirated does not mean that same number of copies would have been purchased had they not been available via piracy. Many of the pirated copies are pirated because the pirate does not view the product worth spending money for.
Furthermore at the price of 'free' many more copies are likely to be distributed ('sold') than if they had to be paid for.
The lost revenue numbers typically put out are highly misleading at best.
