What the RIAA doesn’t understand, is, many people have, who weren’t before, using P2P networks ONLY because their friends were getting lawsuits. If it had not been for these lawsuits, they would be still be buying CD’s. Now, there getting them for free. Hope the RIAA is happy for what they’ve done.

Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out.

Given that the 6,729,430 was only up until the middle of October, not the end of it, there’s little doubt the number will be greater by the end of the month. We shall see : )

It is funny how the number has risen. According to basic mathematics:

6,784,574 (Sep 2004) > 6,729,430 (Oct 2004)

So the actual number has declined:
In September, an average of 6,784,574 file sharers were online at any given moment. By October 15, the number has risen to 6,729,430.
