Don't forget to mention that the EU market is larger than the North America market (yes, including Canada and Mexico). People in the EU on average spend more money on entertainment that the people in NA.
Also... this survey is just a case of lies, damned lies and statistics. If you get the question "Have you ever downloaded something illegally?" then most people will/should answer "yes". A subsequent question "After downloading, did you buy the product, or did you discard the content because you didn't like, or you kept it?" would be much more interesting. In a recent Dutch study on the same subject it was shown that people who download the most also spend the most money on buying/licensing the entertainment products. EenVandaag is a piece of shit "current events" show, which does very poor research.
