Millions Delete ALL Music Files?

Honig the Apothecary writes "CNN is reporting that millions of people have deleted all the music files from their computers in a story here. My question is how the hell would they know? Are they substituting "deleted" for the words "disabled sharing with other users"?"

People should stop sharing mp3 files, and start sharin .dat files. Sure, more HDspace is need, but I can buy 200GB for $50 these days, so where's the beef. mp3 sound quality, due ot being compressed, deteriorates after awhile, while dat file do not. Ripping CDs andsharing them as .dat files will keep music enthusiasts much happier.

RIAA doesn't understand that that is who they are pissing off. This temporary solution of suing 12 year olds and scaring US residents is not gonna stick. Get a life assholes.

If you, me and Bill Gates are in a bar the average net worth of people in the bar is a few billion, so the next round is on you? Didnt think so. Including the none file shareing computer users and people that dont have any music files in their statistics is an artificial way to allow them lower the number of files their 'volunteers' need to have to be significant thus making the data inaccurate.
