30-35 (probably)
independent studies. I've read more studies than that, but once again: if they're not independent, they're worthless. There are a large number of studies out, funded directly or indirectly by the industry, but I see no reason reading any more than I have done, seeing as their conclusions can be predicted with an accuracy of close to 100%.

Or you could read the linked article "all the studies here are independent, academic studies — working papers, academic journal articles, and dissertations."

I don't believe things just because I read them somewhere.

Maybe because he limited himself to academic studies?

Most amusing. Would you care to elucidate on why the studies I've linked to should not be considered "academic"?

It looks more like you are intentionally disregarding any data which contradicts your preferred piracy-denier world view. Even purely academic papers. Why even pretend that you are interested in what the research actually shows?

Because I am interested.
Once I come across a verifiably independent study which concludes that piracy is a significant problem, I'll happily both read it and link to it in further debates. Should the number of such studies ever reach the number which today concludes otherwise, then I'll happily begin to re-evaluate my stance.

All of the independent research you've read which somehow missed the research contrary to your pre-existing opinion.

Once again, not true. See above.
