I can't see how what you are asking is related to what I wrote.

I am not looking for a pointless, chaotic debate. I made a very clear point - assuming none of the people who downloaded the song will buy it, if the first link wasn't to megaupload or w/e is equally stupid to assuming everyone who downloaded the song will buy it.

Even if 0.1% of the downloaders (one in a thousand!) would have otherwise bought what they pirated, that is 8 or 9 figures in lost revenue.
