John Bennet draws our attention to a blogpost by Felix Salmon at Reuters.It's about a report by "Joe Karaganis and a big team of international researchers" which unfortunately I seem to be unable to access, at least without paying a fee. The report debunks all the made-up numbers used by the big media firms to direct U.S. antipiracy policy. The blog post is worth reading, and post a comment if you can figure out how to access the report. (There is link to scribd, but that site appears to be unusable.)

Thanks for that. Perhaps you could draw John Bennett's attention to this blog article of mine: http://www.digitalproductions.co.uk/index.php?id=276
I think John might enjoy it.

But the fee is half the story and half the fun as the report was released under a Consumer's Dilemma license. http://piracy.ssrc.org/the-report/
The idea is that to get it free, you must find a proxy outside the listed high income countries. This forces you to live the experience that the emerging economies in the report face on a daily basis to access geo-restricted content using high income country proxies.

Well, we tried to make it a little easier than finding a proxy: it is on Scribd. Not sure why that isn't working for you (if that's how you've chosen to resolve the Consumer's Dilemma.)

or you can torrent it:

Or you can acquire it legally for $8
Cheers,
