"Con las Elecciones Generales a la vuelta de la esquina, la Coalición de Creadores (compuesta por SGAE, FAP y otras entidades de gestión de derechos) ha aprovechado para hacer balance de la actual legislatura y no parecen estar nada contentos con el Partido Popular. Según dicha organización, la "piratería" ha generado numerosas pérdidas tanto a los creadores como al propio país en concepto de impuestos no ingresados. Entre los datos que ofrece la Coalición se menciona que el Estado ha perdido 1.648 millones de euros en impuestos no recaudados entre 2012 y 2014 debido a las descargas, que "perjuicio económico causado por la piratería" a los creadores asciende a 54.601 millones de euros y que en España hay 9.000 accesos a contenidos ilegales por minuto. ¿El problema con estas cifras? Además de la forma de contarlo (¿"accesos a contenidos ilegales"?), precisamente el origen de estos datos.

En la metodología se explica que se han realizado encuestas a 50.000 "panelistas con captación personalizada". ¿Han preguntado a 50.000 personas entonces? No exactamente... En el informe de 2012 incluían exactamente la misma frase en su metodología, "encuesta a internautas de panel GfK de 50.000 panelistas con captación personalizada", pero el responsable del informe aclaraba a Eldiario.es que en total se habían realizado 3.262 encuestas, de las cuales se habían validado 2.571. Una muestra que, si bien dicho diario asegura que puede ser una muestra representativa fiable, se completó con entrevistas en focus group presenciales. No entrevistaron a 50.000 personas, aunque es lo que quieren dar a entender Para las estimaciones económicas todavía es más difícil encontrar la fuente utilizada por Gfk. La consultora habla de un nuevo término, el "lucro ces
