In the interest of being funny, because I am almost certain my analysis will be tossed as a humorous outlier, here is how I (hastily) calculated my “losses” over the past year:

I took a rather terse engineering approach to this problem, and assumed that if I were watching movies during 100% of my downtime, that I would be losing equivalent work pay and gaining equivalent MPAA earnings from the cultural impact of the movies. Thus, I removed sleep and work hours from a full year’s worth of hours and came up with this simple formula:

((365.25 days / year) * (24 hours / day – 8 hours sleep / day) – (50 weeks work / year) * (5 days work / week) * (8 hour work / day)) * (($105,664/year [chem. eng., 1]) / ((50 weeks work / year) * (5 days work / week) * (8 hours work / day)) – ($10,455,147,898/year [2010 box office gross, 2]) / (667 movies / year) / (2 hours / movie)) = -$30,126,924,739.81

Notice the sign…

Taking into consideration I have a terrible case of insomnia (which is true), I have to remove the equivalent number of hours on average. Since I only sleep every 2 or three days, that is a total of three nights per week on average that those 8 hours will be over-estimated to exist; which substantially impacts the tota value I am missing out on! See for yourself:

((365.25 days / year) * (24 hours / day – (3 / 7) * 8 hours sleep / day) – (50 weeks work / year) * (5 days work / week) * (8 hour work / day)) * (($105,664/year [chem. eng., 1]) / ((50 weeks work / year) * (5 days work / week) * (8 hours work / day)) – ($10,455,147,898/year [2010 box office gross, 2]) / (667 movies / year) / (2 hours / movie)) = -$43,213,125,734.27

So I am being seriously shafted here even with work pay factored in, and I was generous!!!!!

Also, here are the sources I forgot to list in the submission:

*I may have fudged the division by 2 for hours per movie, but its still perfectly within the ridiculous MPAA method of determining “losses” due to “piracy.”
**To perform the calculation yourself, remove all the units and it should be a straight forward scientific calculator nightmare.
***This formula assumes no music was listened to, nor any music value was consumed during the movies, nor any additional value from the works licensed to the studio by their IP paranoia department, nor any other extraneous factors aside my insomnia, just the movies were counted based on average earnings.
