The True Cost of Music Piracy

  • 8/22/07 at 09:30 AM

According to the dubious results of a nonsensical study conducted by idiots, music piracy has cost the U.S. economy $12.5 billion and 71,060 jobs (we'd like to think that Vulture's Right-Click alone has put at least five of Lil Wayne's weed carriers out of work). After the jump, we speculate on how the failing record industry would have budgeted that $12.5 billion, in a very special pie chart which took us six hours to make.
