Last month a stage collapsed at the Belgium music festival Pukkelpop killiing 5 people and injuring others,

Today the festivals insurance company released a statement as to what they think caused the accident, and suprisingly it wasnt a large storm as everyone had previously though, It was File Sharing

Here's the insurance companies' reasoning:

Illegal file-sharing has led to fewer CD sales. Fewer CD sales have forced artists, managers and labels to emphasize the live music experience--including festivals, of course--to make up for the lost revenue. Emphasizing live gigs attracts people. And should a thunderstorm strike, those people risk being killed or injured.
