There are 300 million people in the USA alone…not including Canada. How is it that there is going to be 227 million “paid” listeners in the near future? This is BS. And I don’t believe there are 105 million “paid users of digital music in North America..” today. Let’s see the proof. Someone in the Digital Industrial Complex is cooking the books.
