I understand how it could seem that way, but consider the math. If they caused $500M in lost sales, and EVERY illegal download is a lost sale, then with 50M users a day, if everyone was downloading $1 songs, they only had about ten days of piracy. If ever user was pirating one item. If higher priced materials were pirated, or users pirated more than one item, then we're talking less time. Maybe a week, maybe less, of rampant, constant piracy. And this site, roughly, was open since when, 2006?
