Oh and upcoming taxes are definitely not going to help downloads. I'll still continue to order from amazon/half.com/other online retalier.

Lets see... 10 years ago most people were on dial-up and the P2P groups using Napster, Kazaa, and Gnutella was starting to dominate college campuses everywhere. 30% revenue is not bad considering most people don't download entire albums and taxes are slowly going on Internet purchases such as NY charging a tax on any purchases online.
