>An illegally-obtained copy of something does not equal a lost sale
Not one to one, but easy availability of pirated content certainly results in a non-zero number of lost sales. So then the argument is about the size of the damages and not whether damages exist.
- mojzu 4y agoThere's also an argument to be made that piracy increases sales in some cases, most of my music/game/tv/film tastes as an adult can largely be traced back to content I pirated as a teenager who didn't have money to spend. Now most of my spending on entertainment either goes to artists/franchises that I was introduced to via piracy, or on services that are more convenient then piracy (Steam, Apple Music, Netflix, etc.)
