| said by ThrowDemsOut:]Based on hundreds of news articles over the last 2 years publishing the results of surveys, polls, etc. most of which were either written by "stenographers" simply laying out the industry line, are based on non-reviewed data paid for by the industry, or are simply numbers made up by some group or organization.
the only rigorous, academic studies I am aware of indicate that "pirating" has little or no impact on media sales; one study targeted at P2P music sharing indicates there could actually be a positive impact on music sales. |

| $20 is just too much. Unless a movie is brand spanking new and even then you can still find it cheaper else where. I personnally just wait a few months after DVD realease and pick a used copy from blockbuster for 4 for 20.... |

If it's in the news, it must be right! Believe everything you read? Surveys are opinions, not reality. Polls are also opinions. The data depends on who you ask. Not exactly accurate. |
