Show me the numbers. Real numbers, not the abstract estimates of publishers associations. Find a particular piece of restricted work and detect a disturbance in the sales series at the point where an illegally derestricted electronic version hit the net.

It was done with thier knowledge and consent. Indeed. My point is that content creators will do well to authorise their fans to promote them to their friends in this way. If they don't, they are ultimately harming their own revenue and playing into the hands of the large corporations. Breaking a law is breaking a law, even if it is unjust. It should not be taken lightly, but this is an illegality that should not even exist. Creators, help yourselves by inviting others to help themselves!
