2,000,000 of listeners who had spent $1,000 in 5 years moved from commercial records to Winny

Hmm, my last entry went under 7/25. So I wanted to insert noise here.

ACCS is kind of BSA in Japan. They reported that commercial records decreased $40,000,000 of sales in those 5 years, and it is because of Winny, a file sharing tool (that did not exist 5 years ago). They also said that there are 2,000,000 Winny users. Thus, at least every users had spent $1,000 in 5 years must have ceased to buy commercial records because of Winny. Wow!

It describes how reliable their staticsics are. If you found any literatures that reference their statistics, you had better advise them to find another ones. You can also rank such literatures by yourself.

Similarly, if any of you know any associates or statistics (latter would be preferable) in your country that are unreliable, please tell me. I decided to create a black list (mainly) for Japanese IP researchers.
