“We need to differentiate between commercial piracy - where criminal organisations produce illicit DVDs on a huge scale - and domestic, unauthorised filesharing, which may or may not be detrimental to overall sales.”

Meaning

This reads as a careful distinction between organized criminal copying and smaller-scale private sharing. It suggests that the moral and economic questions are not all the same, and that one should not treat every form of infringement as equally harmful. It lands in debates about digital media, where policy often depends on separating large criminal operations from ordinary users.
