If it could be copied, it could be pirated. It was just never the threat it was today. Sharing with their mates is going to be 10 to 30. Sharing it on a file locker, how many do you think that is?
Also kids sharing it on CDs and phones, how is that tracked to give accurate figures?
Here's the site. Maybe Damo would like to point us to the part where Torrent Freak got the info from.
