Perhaps the people doing these kinds of surveys do not realise the amount of file sharing software programs there are out there. It strikes me that they tend to survey the "major" P2P's like Kazaa etc. Perhaps what is happening is people are moving away from the high profile P2P's to the smaller "unnoticed" P2P's??
Downloads using P2P's like Kazaa tend to come with unwanted nasties. Its the same as the PC vs Apple problem with Virus etc. Virus writers dont bother with Apple because the scope is so much smaller. People use smaller P2P programs now because they download exactly what they asked for and seem to be overlooked by the music corporations.
