There's data against it. The EU conducted a study then suppressed it until an MP eventually made a FOIA request to get the results, because the results weren't what they wanted it to say. https://www.engadget.com/2017-09-22-eu-suppressed-study-pira...

That report wasn't suppressed. It wasn't published because the methodology had a 44% margin of error, and subsequently it was totally useless.

It doesn't provide data suggesting that piracy doesn't hurt sales. It literally doesn't provide any data at all.
