Idunno, I think they probably are losing money, but I don't think they should try to abolish P2P. Before Napster and CD Burning I would buy CDs through BMG Music Service. I would get like, 10 free CDs every time I referred someone, so I just kept doing that, and ended up with about 50 CDs for the price of 1. I was never a huge fan of going to a store and paying $15 for a CD. I definately wouldn't have nearly as robust of a music collection if MP3s and P2P (or a similar thing) didn't exist. I would have maybe bought 5 CDs in the past couple years. On the other hand I do also make $20 by burning 18 Phish CDs for a friend who quite possibly would have spent $80 on them retail...or however much it'd cost. [Legal disclaimer: The previous sentence is completely false, and was used for demonstrative purposes only. I have not profited in any way from pirating music.] On that note, I also haven't downloaded over 50 movies, with the following titles:

Panic Room
Office Space
Oh Brother, Where art Thou?
Fight Club
The Virgin Suicides
Hackers 2
Coyote Ugly
Black Hawk Down
Vanilla Sky
