I would pay $1K for these and I'm not a massive sneaker nerd. Just a massive nerd.

I actually hate watching bigoted loudmouths so both hockey and Braveheart are out for me.

Also happened to me. Worst Christmas ever. I was mortified. I was smart enough to know that I didn't want it even back then, seemed like too much hassle and too big a mess.

Soooooo, I know it's been a week later but I just got chills reading your Macy's story. Almost the exact same thing happened to be. Rather thank I cowl neck I got her a lace collar. She literally told me she would have rather had the money. It was the first time I had had a job and I think it might have been the

Thank you!

I was wondering the same thing. I may have always foolishly presumed the spectacular colors of those gases were visible to the naked eye (via telescope of course) but I'm guessing no?

I'm not the one making the argument, BitTorrent is making the argument that their consumers buy more music, the more they pirate the more they buy. I'm making the case that that is bullshit.

I never suggested it did not but if more people become consumers and buy music from the 170m BitTorrent users alone we should be at least holding steady rather than seeing a 60% decline in revenues.

Apologies, you are correct. $1.29 not $1.19. That said, if you check the top 200 singles on iTunes you'll find that only 8% of them are priced lower than 1.29.

Not really. Most songs aren't .69. Most pop songs are 1.19. And singles have been around almost since the dawn of music. That's why when you go to garage sales you find 45s.

Yeah, it is. It's crystal clear. You see the broadcast numbers decline (dark blue) while the cable numbers soar (light orange). On top of that cable has lifted the whole industry in contrast to torrenting which has shrunk the industry. Here you go:

By the very definition the purchasers group are purchasers. There are some in the pirate group who are and some who are not.

Wait no. First off:

You claiming that digital piracy does not affect revenue would have to mean that everything pirated is unwanted. If something is wanted then at least some percentage of those people would have purchased or streamed if it was unavailable to torrent.

Having also been in the music industry for many years and *still* currently in the music industry I don't disagree. That said it's far harder for labels to steal from the artists any longer. There aren't a lot of places to hide costs and there aren't a lot of ways to hide revenues based on better reporting systems

Well since it was all the same group pre digital piracy (people who purchased) and turned in to two groups of purchasers and non purchasers I'd suggest the correlation is pretty clear.

But why would you say this:

Again I would argue there is a clear correlation starting from the advent of Pirate Bay coming into it's own in 2004 and the decline in revenues across the board.

What attacks? I'm asking if you would be OK showing up on a set and being told after the fact that you weren't going to be paid for your work on the film?
