#5I own Netflix although I mostly use stremio with torrentino. Seems like statistics got it right.

#7Title is extremely misleading:
> The report found that illegal downloads and streams can actually boost legal sales of games, according to the report.
> The only negative link the report found was with major blockbuster films: “The results show a displacement rate of 40 percent which means that for every ten recent top films watched illegally, four fewer films are consumed legally.”

#8The study did not find that piracy does harm sales. There's a difference. (One might infer from the data that it doesn't, but that's different to the study having concluded that.)

Remember that absence of evidence does not mean evidence of absence. The study seems to point at the first one. I don't care enough to be bothered with reading a 300 page report but if you consider taking it as truth, I would recommend you to read and analyse the method before drawing conclusions based on the headline.
