More like 100% Bullcrap report.
Not pirates, more like thief's. your only a pirate if you have the intention of Looting everything, killing people, like saying walk the plank, drink a lot, and/or just like blowing stuff up.
8% of people around the world, are your real so called pirates that upload it to your 70% so called youth pirates.
if RIAA or the such see this post do yourself a favor, and fire whoever wright's these LOLports.

You forgot to add - " and 99.9 % are vodka fuelled chronic alcoholics " and if you need any evidence of that just chat to a Finn who is under 21 years old and online at night and see for yourself .

Who know Finland was such a rogue nation. I'd be surprised if it was not a similar number in the US.

It's alcoholism if you drink alone, otherwise, it's called socializing :)!
I for a change,don't drink anymore, I run a vodka I.V at night, for sustenance!

I think we all have made a copy of something from something that wasn't ours and didn't give credit to... so in fairness I think we should change the title to the entire world has been a "pirate" in some form or fashion. And to add, the very people pointing the fingers at "pirates" have copied something themselves and continue to do so, so their sh#t stinks too...

70% Fin youth....100% of American youth.....Provided you own a computer.
Everyone is a criminal to the RIAA...So arrest me because I made a copy of my cassette tape (or CD) because I didn't feel like paying an extra 10.99 to keep one in my house and one in my car.
The RIAA needs to stuff it!

I'm sure even if they haven't downloaded anything they have copied stuff from their friends phones or ipods.

I'm 15,5 years old. I don't drink and i never will even though i could kill my self with booze even right now if i wanted to.
Oh yeah and during the last two months, i downloaded about 2,4 terabytes of copyrighted material including movies, music tracks and games, all of which i shared afterwards. It's nice having 560 Tb of sdd (well partially ssd) memory for all the shit i could ever want =D

an informal poll of every person i ever met leads me to beleive that 100% of the people that actualy have the mental ability to use a computer with an internet connection have downloaded illegaly distributed music with clients like limewire or shareaza.
the time of corporate greed is over. good riddance. hope the door hits your ass on the way out.
