Destroying “internet” with their “pack of lies?”

Fuck… you mean destroying the world with their pack of lies IE US Government on numerous policies (drug war, piracy, pharms, WMDs, oil, etc…)?

On a side note, I just had a brilliant idea. TF, let us produce an anti-piracy study like this? I’ll do the texting and editing, then we can release to some news outfit and see where it goes. Would be some interesting social experience heh.

I’m deeply sorry for feeding them but WHERE ARE MURDOCH AND LAKAWAKA to comment on this? First thing I thought when I read the article was how they bashed TF because “any anti-piracy study” being disregarded by TF and the readers. Then I lol’d hard.

I remember about the 720p version of a 71 ep series I re-downloaded (15Gb for the low quality plus 60+Gb for the 720p flac version). From their point of view I’m 2 lost sales if you count a single infringement or [insert random high number here] lost sales if you consider total bw used for both versions.

I mean, you can’t honestly support these studies without either being stupid or having money shoved in your arse to agree with the absurd. The Age should be ashamed along with the rest of the press.

I would like to thank TorrentFreak, The Pirate Party and all others for their efforts that have uncovered the truth behind this report and culminated with this TF article.

Another mistake they make (still) is to assume that ALL audio/video content we alledgedly illegally download and consume would also be paid for if not having the option to freely obtain this content. That’s a fundamental false assumption, as far as I can see. Lost revenue my ass.

I would estimate that more than 90% of so-called pirated content consumed by the world over would NEVER have been bought or paid for if there would have been no pirated copy available. Let’s see some actual research on that, before even trying ANY other argument against file-sharing!
