Stolen music accounted for 51% of all mp3 downloads last year; that’s 51% revenue for the companies and artists lost. That means they are having to DOUBLE the price on the rest of the music to make up for it.

That is some mad fallacy right there, not to mention confounding POTENTIAL with ACTUAL sales.

If you think more than 0.1% of pirates would even consider buying the product instead of downloading it for free, you have to be pretty ****ing naive/stupid.
