   'The #EU Suppressed a 300-Page Study That Found Piracy Doesn’t Harm Sales'

   Here a blogpost by Julia Reda who made the EU release the study:

   Does copyright infringement negatively affect legal sales? This is a fundamental question with profound implications on the way copyright and copyright enforcement policy should work

   In January '14 the European Commission...€360.000 to conduct a study on the question

   Why did the Commission,..choose not to publish this study..?

      @paulfree14 TorrentFreak has had this kind of thing published on their site for years. These studies don't fit the narratives of the BPI, MPAA, RIAA, etc. so it's in their best interests to keep the consumer none the wiser.
      
      Meanwhile, YouTube is the number one source of piracy and, so far, nothing has happened except a few downloading sites getting shut down.
