You know someone who didn't buy any books in the past 5 years but downloads them?

That is because of the quarter of people using torrents that pay a little or a lot more, and the half that is left pays the same. It all evens out to no harm.
On top of that you have 25% of all responders didn't buy music in the last year. Out of these 33% are pirates and only 7% of them don't buy music making up 2.5% of the total. The rest of 22.5% are from the 67% that don't pirate. That comes up to 33.6% of those that don't pirate also don't buy music.
