How many unemployed peope could be working as affiliates?

Not those who are claiming to be unemployed and working as affiliates. I'm sure there are a few.

I was watching the news about getting more unemployed back into work, with a back drop of a carpenters shop, and thought. How many people who are currently unemployed be working as affiliates either self employed or fully employed?

The skills required to do most skilled manual jobs above digging a road are going to take years to learn. Yet it's clear that learning the "traffic" skills to pt up blogs, galleries, etc takes skill above writing English, that can be learned in a matter of months. It's no where near as skilled as being a plumber or electrician.

So is piracy effecting the prosperity of the Internet and it's prospects to employ people?

Not just in porn, outside porn as well. The US and EU are still the driving force for online businesses. Yet with so much being lost to piracy sites outside the US/EU, what effect is this having on The Internet and it's prosperity?

When it becomes a place to get products for free, it becomes a place that loses money for others.

Discuss without the usual bias, as you download free movies.
