It would be nice if you plan on counter arguing something that you cite your source. Just out of curiosity where did this study come from.

I'm sure that millions of file sharers are spending this $8B more efficiently than the government and the recording industry ever would. Taking money from the file sharers and giving it to the recording industry does not create any new value in the economy. It is wealth redistribution. Value is created when new music is produced.
