They're going to measure it in sales. If sales go up, less people are
pirating. I know that's not true, but they will pretend it is. After
all, increasing sales is the only thing that matters. "We had 500,000
customers last quarter and 600,000 this quarter. 100,000 less people
are pirating music." rather than saying, "We encouraged 100,000 more
people to buy our music because we actually put out a good record."
