Have you ever wondered how the RIAA and the MPAA and the other orgs come up with those numbers on piracy?
How someone who downloads 1000 songs (songs that sell for $0.99 each) can suddenly owe $250,000 or several millions of dollars in damages?
There is definitely something wrong with their math...well, the DOJ and GOA are wondering the same thing:
Study Claims $41.5 Billion In Portable Game Piracy Losses Over Five Years
Feds raise questions about big media's piracy claims
EU Piracy Estimates — Just How Inaccurate?
Feds hampered by incomplete MPAA piracy data
What I don't understand is how the win some of the cases, with math that is so obviously flawed.
