We didn't give the next release to anyone - no promos, no freebies and guess what, we sold 800...

On a small scene those people will buy, BUT only if they have no way of getting it for free.

on a bigger scale I've seen compilation CD's shrink from 300,000 copies to less than 20,000... in a very short space of time.
Interesting view.
Thanks for the insight.
