I’m wondering if the study differentiated between analyzing the effect of piracy on large companies with big profit margins versus small companies with thin profit margins.

My conjecture is that piracy would have a stronger negative impact on the latter.

My guess is Piracy doesn’t hurt big blockbuster entertainment and software corporations much because of their corporate deals and large profit margins.

But if you limit the study to smaller mom-and-pop musicians/entertainers/actors/performers, small video game development studios, and other small software companies which have thin profit margins,

I think we’d see a noticeable negative impact caused by piracy.
