Swedish Movie Industry Exaggerating Losses from Illegal File-Sharers?
Date : 2008 01 30 Category : Web News
Brokep of The Pirate Bay breaks down the alleged annual losses his country's entertainment industry is claiming and the numbers just don't add up.
Since early last week everybody's had a field day with the MPAA's mea culpa about how their 2005 piracy study erroneously blamed US college students for being responsible for 44% of its annual losses in this country. The MPAA cited "human error" in the matter and revised the figure to a mere 15% instead, meaning that it had initially been inflated by almost 300%!
Now Brokep of The Pirate Bay(the world's largest BitTorrent tracker site) makes an interesting observation of his own in his "Estimation Constipation" blog posting.
