Super Fast Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 It is very interesting that their claims of loss are far more than they ever made as an industry. I mean, if you only ever made $58 billion (pfft! Only? Who am I kidding? I'd be HAPPY with even $5 million!)... But back to the story. So, each iPod owner could have $8 Billion in piracy? _____ Engadget says iPod is sold to around 275,000,000 people. So, let's do a bit of math here. At $8,000,000,000 times 275,000,000 users, we have: $2,200,000,000,000,000,000 That's not billion, or even trillion, or even quadrillion in losses here. That's 2.2 QUINTILLION in losses! Wow! The USA has in total, only a few trillions of dollars of debt. This is far more than that! Should criminals like the RIAA still be in office, seeing their lies exposed in such a manner? If they are losing (potentially) $2.2 quintillion in lost profits, why, they don't even make but $58 or so BILLION before all this happens. Their math doesn't add up. _____ Ummmm.... Anyone else see something wrong here, besides a little greed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Nergal Posted March 23, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2012 ???? ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
