absolute rubbish

lets look at some figures. end of 2008 RIAA claim digital downloads revenue was 1.6 billion. apparently 95% of downloads are illegal. If they really do equate to lost sales that would equal over 30 billion lost. dfegad Yeah right that money was there in the first place. Disposable income is infinite dfegad

Why on earth do people believe this dribble?
