Where's that figure from Jeremy? Who counts how many 'illegal' downloads there are? Nobody. They're guestimates. I agree, illegal downloading is a problem, and even Itunes selling music at 99c a pop isn't going to stop the downloads (much in the same way as budget software retailing for only £1.99 still used to get pirated). The argument I can't understand though, is people who say "I didn't want the whole album, only a couple of tracks..." and then download the whole album anyway... if it's worth downloading, surely it's worth paying for?

However despite reasonable sales on itunes, illegal downloads still trounce legal ones by about 10,000,000,000 to 1 Jeremy
