Your original point implied
all p2p users. That's what I objected to. The percentage is irrelevant. IF someone is downloading only, then that is not infringement. Lots of people do not understand the difference.
Many people make the mistake of automatically throwing all p2p activity into the "it must be illegal because it's p2p" category. There are also a lot of sources trying to convince people that "downloading" is illegal. Neither is true.
