The True Cost of Piracy: an infographic to set the discussion agenda

Though I've not seen it till today, I expect that the infographic featured below, kindly supplied by BackgroundCheck,  has been doing the rounds and I apologise in advance if readers of this blog are already familiar with it.  The True Cost of Piracy [now, that's a title which is a hostage to fortune] is quite US-flavoured.  It's also quite eye-catching from an aesthetic point of view and raises lots of discussion points. Infographics like this always remind me of the diagrams of the human digestive system which I had to study at secondary school.  From a didactic point of view, their lay-out makes them both easy to follow, and thus absorb, but also easier to dissect when criticising their content.

Readers' comments are warmly welcomed.
