I don't consider it an argument at all...I consider it a curiosity. People try to make it an argument from time to time, but without even numbers, there's no foundation for an argument to be made, and even with numbers, it's more just a consolation for authors who complain that the pirates are stealing their customers away and killing their profits.
I'm just curious what the numbers are, no need to read into it.
