So someone tell me how piracy is eroding their market share? 1 billion songs sold…means 1 billion in digital sales to Apple, and since Apple only gets what like 5 cents a song…you do the math on how much cash those rats at the RIAA got with Apple’s hard work!

hmm, interesting information, with sales of that level! Now since apple itunes, sales and royalty payments are completely supplied in digital form direct to the RIAA royalty payment scheme as per contracted requirements!
