Not in those quantities. But people really like music, and will spend money on it if that's the only way to get it. To put it the other way around: if downloading suddenly goes away, they will not continue to spend essentially zero on it. And even with crooked record companies, artists will benefit from that expenditure, which they do not now. Victor.

the netherlands checks in .... gotta agree
