ps. the actual amount isn't the argument; the fact that a large percentage is lost is the point. here's some prespective.
3 years ago, piracy here was around 65%. Now it is around 98%.
and when the authorities are hamstringed, and every WEEK, a brick and mortar pirate OPENS for business selling at 70c a copy, which they most probably rip off us importing them for an average $35...how would you react?
with most well to do people choosing to support the pirates, or feel inclined to 60% of the time.
what do you say?
I put ALL my money into this industry. How many of you do that, and say piracy doesn't matter?
Is it still a fallacy?
