I'd like to see the actual questions used to compile this survey. "Have you pirated any movies or TV in the last 12 months" is a different question to "Is illegal downloading or streaming of TV shows and Movies your primary method of watching them?"

I have a Netflix sub and a Google Play sub, I also pay a TV license. I still download shows that I can't get through legal channels, because I feel I've done my best to obtain them legally.

Because Slashdot pretty much an advertisement model. You take these news aggregation sites, they're reaching 35+ old white males. So they're pushing out stories based on those tastes. And then they're taking those numbers and they're going to advertising agencies and people are paying numbers based on the audience that they have. So these places are not even based on tech news. The firehose isn't based on tech...

There are some assertions they can make. If the core of the process is the roughness of one surface, and the application of a compound on that surface known to be safe, then you can't magically have a toxic product. Certainly they are not going to tell us how the surface was made, and what the compound is, that may be a trade secret, however unless they are using a completely new compound to coat the product that has never been use elsewhere, then they are entitled to claim it's safe until someone proves them otherwise.

This reminds me of that southpark episode Where they are voting for the Turd Sandwich vs. Giant Douche. I'd love to see where this argument about which is better, Soccer or Football, goes. It seems that even more than sports, the world's greatest pastime is arguing over who's pastime is better.
