"The $8 Billion Ipod" is mainly about Rob Reid's mind blowing new field of study regarding actual members from the entertainment industry. One fact to keep in mind throughout this is "more than $58 billion is lost to the U.S. economy annually due to content theft". He furthers this evidence by showing us a bar graph that displays other crops that are equivalent to actually economic losses; such as corn, fruit, wheat, cotton, tobacco, rice and sorghum. He uses humor to try not to bore his audience and jaw-dropping facts that play a role in the economy's losses. Did you know that it costs $150,000 to copy per song? Did you also know that an Ipod classic can hold 40,000 songs? Together that $8 Billion dollars of stolen media which is equivalent to 75,000 jobs.
"The $8 Billion Ipod" is truly hilarious and entertaining. And it's legit! Rob Reid actually studies the entertainment industry and the market; and exactly how the entertainment industry affects the market. He ends this short Ted talk by concluding that most of society may not even realize it but you're most likely illegally downloading copies of music, making the economy lay off thousands of jobs and making even your oldest Ipod worth billions of dollars.
