Many do NOT believe the statistics being used by these industry surveys, hence they tend to ignore the advice of the BSA in terms of the software piracy surveys, that have been conducted for the last 14 years. “Really, it’s not really that important how much the software, fonts, music and movie industry is losing, but what should be relevant is “by how much” you could improve your bottom line and cash flow, if you pay attention to the real issues!

On the other hand most of those magazines seem to be more about getting free Pr0n than anything else. 25% is interesting considering the fact that they publish magazines that teach you how to download stuff off the net (entire magazines devoted to Winny and WinMX).

If you tighten the piracy protection, that only gives motives for people to go and get open source softwares such as Linux, OpenOffice.org, etc. Of cource, if you call movies, games as 'software', that's a totally different story.
