When Entertainment Industry Numbers Are More Suited To Comedy Than Analysis http://t.co/Y8vLaWkY
Without further comment:
The movie folks also tell us that our economy loses over 370,000 jobs to content theft, which is quite a lot when you consider that back in ’98 the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that the motion picture and video industries were employing 270,000 people. Other data has the music industry at about 45,000 people. And so the job losses that came with the internet and all that content theft have therefore left us with negative employment in our content industries. This is just one of the many mind-blowing statistics that copyright mathematicians have to deal with every day. And some people think that string theory is tough.
It’s so easily disprovable, why bother saying it? (Answer: Because the rest of the media repeats what they say with no critical thinking at all.)
