    From the article:

    > the iTunes Music Store sold over one million songs during its first week

    > over half of the 200,000 songs offered on the iTunes Music Store were purchased at least once

    If there are 200,000 thousand songs and they sold over 1,000,000 wouldn't they have to sell over half of them more than once?

    How many P2P apps are there for Mac users?

    Grokster?....nope

    Kazaa?....nada

    Morpheus?....nope

    All these apps require windows. I'm not saying there aren't ANY file trading apps for the Mac, but their selection is severely limited. I'll bet most of those files sold were sold to Mac users.
