not that i am overreacting, but i think the calculator cheats, i cant have
stuff on my cds, dvds and hds for 140,000$!!!


something is wrong here...

but he has a good point, doesnt he?

The point I'm making is that only a small percentage of illegal downloads are in fact lost sales

Damn right. Almost all of what I download is not commercially available, and if I do download an album or single it's because it's not readily available anymore, or I want to listen before I buy. If I like it I'll buy it.

$17922.50 Basically, that's all music. I don't download other things. As others have noted, it's a lot of live sets, so I'll say I owe $7000.

Re: The Piracy Calculator

if it's live sets. I don't really think that matters. As there is no way for the artist to make a profit from those things anyway. There are so much legalities that come with putting a mix together as opposed to doing one live.

I say screw the Riaa.
