Best Answer

these numbers are almost impossible to calculate. the only way to calculate this is to keep track of every single song downloaded on the planet for one year. then ask each person, for each song, if they would have bought the song if it were unable to be downloaded. for each "yes" that is $1. no one has, or ever will do this. so...

any numerical figure you will find is an outright lie.
