Frankly I do not see Microsoft making consoles forever. I really do not think they want to be in that business. Both Xboxes got to be as successful as they are by hemorrhaging as much money as they could possibly get away with and recouping with crazy license fees. While license fees are the...

Sorry, was really busy the last few days. Guess it's time for my closing argument then. Don't just assume that what makes sense is what will happen -- if you see evidence to the contrary, you need to investigate closer. And I think I'll leave you with this statement from Universal Music...

I shown where the survey is flawed: It is attempting to ask people how their purchasing (technically renting) habits would be without piracy which ignores the effect piracy has upon their decision. Again... The survey is attempting to determine how much someone would consume without piracy...

Because they use them better than you do. Surveys are highly subject to human error both in production as well as interpretation, explicit events are much less susceptible to error in the former. Thus -- great, have you survey... but when you start hearing things like this -- which have...

Also: What you need to let go of is the single shred of evidence that permits you to ignore other viewpoints. The survey is nice and all, but it is the only evidence you have... and it is limited in scope and relies on someone's ability to self-reflect (just like the commercial survey)...

You didn't read a dang thing I wrote, did you?

As statistically valid as a survey can be... especially when you have (lots of) experimental data that directly flies in its face. Example: http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/1dc45e79-62c6-46d8-a288-b459f36ef5bc/do-commercials-work-on-you Do commercials work on you? vs...

Actually it is obtainable, and has happened. http://articles.latimes.com/2001/jun/20/business/fi-12478 But hey, it might just be other factors. We must be careful in our application of the evidence. Or maybe it's not other factors. But yeah, I was asking the question, but I knew...

As was the case for the cases I shown which suggested piracy increased sales, small situations that are statistically well formulated can be used to better understand larger situations if carefully applied either through further larger-scale testing or analogy. With the latter, especially, you...

You completely ignore the main point I've been trying to get you to all this time: You are completely ignoring the interest in consuming, among other factors such as publicity, that is caused by the access to piracy! You cannot ASK someone whether they would pay for something or not had...

No seriously, point out specific points that claim a measured drop in revenue as a result of piracy. Here's a tip, you can't ;) I know all about that specific study (LEK) -- it's completely wrong, both in its use of statistics as well as -- even with their fundamentally invalid statistics (1...

What specifically in there do you want me to look at? Please quote specific portions. Be careful to quote how they came up with those figures.

No because people don't talk like that, and those (awkward) figures came out of nowhere on your second attempt. So you want to take back your attitude comments? I mean you were hypocritical about it before several times, but that's just too egregious to not point out. People have done it... as...

Because I was drawing a line in the sand for your inevitable future ignorant comments. Now I'll slap down your comment. Just remember when you read it -- you're currently 0 for like 6... and you need to stop explaining ignorant solutions when you have no clue what you are talking about. There's...

You keep crowing and yet you just admit to not knowing anything about DNSSEC or the problems beyond what I tell you... and yet you somehow know more than myself or the other people, many of which well respected individuals in the security industry, who discuss it? And I've been pretty quiet...
