sbp: Aaron will freak at the use of the word "piracy" yet again, although he acknowledged that the semantics of the word do appear to be changing
sbp: from this article: """US industry executives believe that 5% of CD sales were lost to digital piracy last year, and as much as 10% could be at risk this year."""
sbp: That's interesting, because I argued that much or all of the 5% loss from last year was probably due to the abundance of terrible corporate-teen-bands; the lack of decent music on the market
sbp: It'll take me a while to concede, but if the rate keeps dropping over the next couple of years, then I guess it'll be beyond doubt
