This sort of summarization (read manipulation) of scientific results by news organizations to influence viewership is extremely bothersome. Most people who read that article take it at face value, don't check the sources, and go on with life having been misinformed. I know I would have. Irritating.
- Silhouette 16y agoTo be fair, the TorrentFreak article does mention this rather important detail as well, but it certainly doesn't make a big deal of it and the headline is clearly editorialised to the point of outright falsehood. Looked at the other way around, more than 80% of those surveyed did not mostly or fully accept that pirate copying is ethical (7+ on a scale of 1-10).
- _delirium 16y agoHmm, going back and reading it again, you're right, the article apart from the headline isn't too bad. I could've sworn some of these details were left out of it initially though. Any good way to check if the article has been updated?
