    One thing I always find curious is these “rights holders” assuming a 100% sales conversion from piracy when, in reality, it’s probably closer to 1-10%

      Plus, there are studies that show piracy can actually be a positive factor for sales in some cases.

      I can see that - if you’re pirating you’ll just take anything because there’s no cost, but if you’re buying something it has to be worth it.
