    Suppressed Report Found Busted Pirate are good consumers

    The study, which was carried out by Society for Consumer Research (GfK), found that users of pirate sites including Kino.to did not fit the copyright lobby-painted stereotype of parasites who take and never give back.

    This, the survey claims, leads pirate site users to buy more DVDs, visit the cinema more often and on average spend more than their ?honest? counterparts at the box office.

    ?The users often buy a ticket to the expensive weekend-days,? the report notes.

    In the past similar studies have revealed that the same is true for music. People who pirate a lot of music buy significantly more music that those who don?t.

          those reports are funny. i don't know anyone whose paid for song since napster. maybe the odd person will buy some itunes.

          they are not suppressed, similar ones are released a few times every year.

              I buy CDs all the time. I just picked up the entire Iron Maiden discography, actually.

                                      true story: a friend of a friend of mine used to run a pretty larger server to supply movies and content. you had to pay a monthly premium and you could download as much as you want.

                                      turns out he got busted and got shafted pretty hard. big fines and did some jail time. wife left him and took his kids. lost his house and his parents wouldnt let him move back in with them.

                                      never was worth it IMO to go through that, so since then Ive always purchased what I wanted. probably spent $1,000's in iTunes and on movies but at the end of the day, I can sleep at night

                                                      you see there was this thing called a radio

                                                      it allows you to listen to songs for free so you could decide what songs you liked and buy those artist albums

                                                      there are a lot of people like my self who use the torrents just like a radio

                                                      and btw live in a country with a piracy tax which totally legalizes that "choice"

                                                          if all people who pirate shit would pay for it - there would be no issue with piracy.
                                                          the way it works now 1 pirate out of 1000s pays, distributes it and lets freeloaders ride the bandwagon for free without them paying into it.

                                                              Incorrect, that free music was being paid for by the radio station with each song played. The torrent has not paid a royalty for the music they distribute.

                                                                                                                      but these were UNKNOWN artist so that shift is minimal at best.

                                                                                                                                      but these were UNKNOWN artist so that shift is minimal at best.

                                                                                                                                              2. you don't know how to pull the logs off public trackers

                                                                                                                                              3. your too stupid to realize that while an ip address is not a person, it can be counted

                                                                                                                                              4. sales can be counted

                                                                                                                                              5. sales /ip count can give you a percentage.

                                                                                                                                                      how many copyrighted software being downloaded illegally, music and games?

                                                                                                                                                      gather full data, and btw you can't compare bandwidth for video used with anything else.. that why i formulated above first two questions the way I did

                                                                                                                                                      then get back to us. so far you're pulling numbers out of nowhere

How do you explain the decline in sales? If 83% of the people that were pirating music out there went out and bought the CD or tracks online afterwards the music industry wouldn't be in the state it is now.
                                                                                                                                                                          that statement was in response to

                                                                                                                                                                          I used to record songs off the radio when I was a kid, but would eventually buy the real cassette since it sounded better and was more convenient, etc. No reason to do that anymore with lossless digital copies.
                                                                                                                                                                          you were arguing no one would buy because the pirated copy was so good
