I would like to know how Music Piracy losses are calculated….

…because if only sells raw numbers are considered, there is a lot of data missed – like price increase, lack of quality music offer, presence of alternative products (DVD, Mobiles, Games) and, of course, economic downturn…

We’re not sure how they are calculated. The numbers are what is released by the International Intellectual Property Alliance and is used in conjunction with the US Trade Rep. Special 301 Report.

So, Probably, these Numbers are anything but Transparent…
