Answer

There are a lot of studies that have been done, and they tend to vary, but we are talking very comfortably in the region of hundreds of millions of pounds a year, in terms of lost sales through digital piracy. We obviously are not presuming that every download is a lost sale, but results still average out to these figures; it’s a worrying trend.
