OK, funny time. From a market strategist’s blog where he argues with a hedge fund manager :The Big Picture: Debate on Downloading. So we extract a quote from the hedge fund manager:

The effects of piracy on the economy and the world are just getting started. Music company EMI told investors today that it would miss sales projections for the year by about 9%. Trading in England, the stock took a huge hit on the news, wiping out billions of dollars of value.
Music content sales such as records, tapes and CDs have long trended with the broader economies. With global economies steadily growing the last couple of years, the music business should have been on fire. Alas, that is not the case, and the single biggest reason is piracy.

Gee, that downloading is sure bad for stocks. Oh, no, wait. It turns out that EMI is going to miss predicted sales because Coldplay are going to be late with their album.

I sure hope that the investors in his hedge fund sue his ignorant little ass off.
