| Re: Piracy figures 'beefed up by music industry' Yeah, hardly surprising at all... Check out this article as well. http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/1495/125/ It states that a recent survey shows the number of P2P users declining when asked using a timeframe. When the CRIA (this is in Canada) ran a survey, they used a question that "misleadingly asked whether survey respondents had ever used file sharing services". Of course you can guess that number would be very large! Naturally they use these numbers, because everyone knows that if you do anything once you will keep on doing it lol. |
