All claims with numbers made by publishing companies, records companies, and movie companies are total BS. Think about it. We're not talking about hardware. We're talking about information that can be replicated over and over. With hardware, they can estimate the total amount of $$ lost because of inventory. But with software, there ain't no way to keep track, period.
What they do to give you these BS numbers is they have a BS estimate of sales this year and then compare that to the actual sales... as if we're all idiotic enough to believe they don't inflate their hypothetical sales.
