that's just your claim and theory based on theories from other sources which are based on some ROUGH calculations (probably twisted to support such claims as yours)
there is no chance in hell anyone can validate claim such as "more than 50% of all torrent traffic is for content tha people already paid for"
you may account percentage of TV shows on all torrents, which again is very doubtful, but there is no way in hell you can actually validate who of downloaders paid for them, many people in 2nd and 3rd world countries don't subscribe to cable, have limited local TV stations and d/l all they can from torrents including TV shows they otherwise have no access too

again, I underline - there is no way to validate any number of people who paid for what

torrents exploded for one single reason - piracy.
stop pushing some twisted numbers w/o backing up your claims with real data - for simple reason - you can not account ALL resources, and you CANNOT validate who paid for what.

all your arguments are simply based on some twisted estimations, nothing else.
