Lost revenue

The usual war-cry from the industry.

However, the industry continues to make obscene profits. How?

By honest customers paying more, that's how. The record company doesn't lose a cent/penny - we the customers) do. They just hike up the prices to cover any perceived 'loss' they might suffer.

I suspect that the 'loss' is calculated as:
Loss = (What we'd like to make) - (what we made)
Hardly based on any eveidence, is it?
How do they assess the level of piracy?

If home priacy really did damage the industry, they would have gone bust when cassette recorders were first used to record the chart hits when 'Fluff' played them on Sunday teatimes...

And don't even get me started on that Judge finding those men guilty w/o evidence, fact or a trial... How did he manage to arrive at that decision?
