The upside down world of pirates.

Reading this I just couldn't understand what their point was. http://torrentfreak.com/riaa-online-...apping-120726/

Not even sure how true it is, because how anyone can track offline piracy sharing is a mystery. It would be person to person and therefore untraceable. Unless it's done phone to phone and can be tracked that way. Hard drive to hard drive wouldn't be traceable. Or is it?

While not insignificant, the fact that less than one in five music acquisitions can be traced back to online file-sharing isn?t really that convincing ? especially when one takes into account that only a tiny fraction represent a lost sale.
Which is why Kim Dotcom was so rich. how they know it isn't a lost sale is beyond me. Damian will explain it to us.

Even so are they pointing it out as a reason not to pursue the online piracy business?
