I agree, illegal downloading is bad, it causes losses, but overestimating the losses, on that I can't agree. One million downloads doesn't mean 1.000.000 songs not being sold as they imply in losses reports all the time on media everywhere, this is what I was saying.

Underestimating the losses is also just as bad. People are listening to their iPods more than ever, but somehow sales are down.
And you better believe online sales count. If they didn't these albums would have sales in the four-digit range. (Billboard started counting paid online sales over five years ago).
