And how, exactly, is recommending "proportionate steps to curb piracy" a sign of unreasoning fanaticism? Especially from an organization that represents an industry that has seen sales drop by 50% in the last 10 years, including a 77% drop in sales for new artists. Or is the mere fact that they regard piracy as a problem that needs to be addressed sufficient to "prove" that anything they say can't be trusted?
Sorry, but you seem to engage in a bit of confirmation bias here. Read first, then criticize. |
No, you're not sorry
If currently outsized penalties are not proportionate, and a firm representing the music
industry thinks we need said proportion, a reasonable assumption is that they want more outsized penalties. Hence, your words, unreasoning fanaticism.
I also don't buy your deflationary numbers, particulary wen shilled by a biased institute such as the IFPI.
I ask again for
peer reviewed studies.
I assume if you could have linked to Nielsen, you would have done that instead?
