Umm.. Speaking from personal experience the above reply is correct that most people wouldn't have bought the music if they couldn't DL it. They would borrow the CD from a friend or something and copy it that way, before that it was grabbing it off the radio and putting it on cassette, I still know people that have their old computers from the era when CD burners were relatively new that have a tape drive so that they could transfer their old songs recorded off the radio onto CDs. Keeping in mind that I'm a member of the military...a group whose crime statistics of all kinds are lower than the American populace at large I would like everyone to consider that if I know such numbers of people that do these things that much larger groups feel the same way in the civilian sector.
Or in the case of my co-workers killing anything that we have authorization to do so with. But then again all my co-workers will tell you that planes work so much better for that, they hit more things at once.
