Actually, I think your demographics are wrong. I wasn't able to find any numbers on the percentage of teen file sharers, but according to a 2005 survey, 27% of American adult internet users download music or video files (36 million people), with half of that being from P2P services, and half being through other means (from friends' iPods, email, web sites, etc).
Just a note. I think piracy is a lot more widespread than you'd like to believe, and will only continue to be so, as the generation of children with broadband in the home and university grows up.
