I could just as easily blame DRM for this though.

Also, as far as I'm concerned, the RIAA can go fuck themselves.

Also, I wouldn't really trust a consulting firm to provide reliable data. In fact, study, after study has shown that piracy has had a positive effect on the music industry. That's why there are many artists that are okay with it (note: the source of the last article is obviously not neutral on this issue, but I included it because it has good citations).
