Interesting article. I'm assuming this increased spending is simply because they're also the people who enjoy this kind of media the most. If they pirate films, for example, it's because they love watching tons of films, so they also pay for more than the average joe.
I wonder, though, if this stat is misleading. If they were paying for content, would they be spending 1000% more or 2000% more than 'honest' consumers?

- graeme 13y agoI think he meant, if they couldn't pirate, would they buy even more content than they do now.
- antihero 13y agoThing is that's a projection and a massively wrong one at that - the sort of thing that motivates ridiculous anti-piracy laws too. "Hey we have this demographic that spends lots and pirates - if we can stop them pirating they'd spend EVEN MORE!!! DRM FOR EVERYONE!!!"
- chasing 13y agoYup, that's what I meant.
