Part of that, then, has to come from doing out own research, publishing
our own papers, and studies. What would make it all the better is if we
use their data to make those studies. I have one I really need to
finish, based on MPAA figures, and I hope y'all will start doing some
yourself.

If we can provide solid, verifiable data, with full methodologies, AND
the raw data. This way, anyone can look through the data, see the
conclusions, and work out the same things, without the abstractions, and
shaky unknown data that so many studies have promoting longer copyright
terms, more cameras, biometrics out the ying-yang etc.
