I dont get how they get number such as "hundreds of billions of dollars in lost revenue". I think thats such a bs statement... This is how it works for me and Im sure 80% if not more are just like me:
The programs/games/music I download I:
A: would have never been able to afford anywayz... (I.E. Adobe Photoshop)
B: would never have bought as many games/cd's as I've downloaded
C: I download rips of songs I own just cause its easier then ripping the cd...
D: I buy the music/games I like anyways.
And one last bitch fest before I got to sleep... I would say at least half of the people downloading music/games are under the age of 16. I dont know about you guys, but I sure as hell wasnt making dick for money when I was that age, and sure as hell couldnt afford to buy my own games/music.
