BitTorrent study challenges videogame piracy misconceptions

I would be interested in if anyone ever did a categorization of torrenters. I have assumed for a while that serial downloading makes up a decent chunk of pirating, but how much would be very important. Basically if you have someone who downloads a game a day, they might need to be treated differently from a more "casual" torrenter.

Of course my thoughts are pure conjecture, finding if that is true or not would add an interesting bit to discussions about this.

Here's the problem: Assume you were made CEO of a publisher tomorrow. Are you going to put your money where your mouth is and not take measures to mitigate freeloading? Remember, just the perception of risk can be bad. Shareholders will not be reassured by self-serving, unproven theories about how no one was going to pay for those copies anyways.
