1. Comment - Study: One-Third of CDs Are Pirated

   (Jun 23, 2005 - 9:56 PM)

   These claims are absurd any one that believes them is brain washed. Who conducted this study, how were the trends calculated? What professors/doctors were involved in these conclussions? NONE.
   
   Claims like these are completely made up and filled with imaginary numbers and statistics. The only real studies done about file sharing and whether or not "piracy" (which in itself is a lie to call, piracy only happens on the high seas like you know, with pirates arggghhhh) has any effect on sales and its been shown it doesnt. That at most for every 10,000 downloads 1 cd sale is lost and that was attributed entirely to round off errors.
   
   How flawed can an article like this be "According to a music industry group, one out of every three compact discs sold last year was pirated at a cost to the industry of $4.6 billion" it doesnt even name the body that made these claims and these claims were made by the people that have the most to benefit from making it. How much more self serving and biased can you make an article? You can't, this is the epotimy of how journalism is supposed to NOT be.
