"Illegal File Sharers spend the MOST on Legal Media"
“… results revealed that users of P2P technology spend considerable money on traditional media and entertainment. They are, in fact, important and valued customers of the traditional media companies. Our survey shows that the P2P user attends 34% more movies in theaters, purchases 34% more DVDs and rents 24% more movies than the average internet user.”
So there’s “piracy” for you.
Yup. And it’s been that way since the Napster days too.
These surveys don’t make causation clear. The question is whether these pirates would be even better customers if there was no piracy.
Very true, correlation != causation, but it does very pointedly refute the idea of Pirates being nothing but scavengers or leeches who contribute nothing and expect everything for free; which is the definition that I hear almost daily from TPTB in the entertainment industry.
