> That's total bullshit. Global music revenue fell by 50% because of piracy[1].
The article you linked does not provide any source and / or a methodology for how this was calculated and attributed specifically to piracy
The article is mostly an interview with a journalist who wrote a book about Napster. The claim comes from his book. That's the source. I have not read the book. If you have concerns about the methodology you should read it yourself.
