Still 60% of the people who downloaded that album didn't pay. It shows the thought process of the "fan" Even when they could pay $1 they rather pay nothing.
nope is shows the though process of the downloader, fans pay the artist, fans donate and buy the music. Downloaders use the torrents to test drive the music.

The point is that torrents can be used the same way as the radio was used back in the day, to turn downloaders into fans.
