Re: So I guess they didn't really prove
said by RayW  :Wonder how many of those listed jobs were actually lost to automation and new technology? Bingo. Their job estimate is likely as well cooked as their piracy damages estimate. Even if piracy were to stop tomorrow and their "predicted" surge of happened, there wouldn't be a 140,000 job increase, if any at all.

said by TKJunkMail :The movie industry has numerous high paid UNION jobs. And any loss of jobs there aren't minimum wage ones. Wonder how many of those listed jobs were actually lost to automation and new technology? If the indications that my wife saw 15 years ago are still true, a lot of job losses in that industry are not piracy, but no longer needing the people. And with the animation affects that are getting such that it is hard to tell real people from animations, even more are lost (Shrek caused a big stink in that respect, and I heard that they had to dumb the art down to keep the unions from exploding).
