The Torrent Freak obtained copies of images from a presentation by an executive of the RIAA, the main lobbying organization of the American music industry, for people connected to major labels in the country.

Confidential data reveal that 65% of music consumed in the United States is obtained for free, but the vast majority of content comes to people in order offline via external hard drives, CDs burned on a home or pendrives acquaintances.

According to research from the industry, two thirds of all music consumed in the U.S. is obtained for free, while just under 30% of all such content is purchased on p2p sites or storage of files, like the late Megaupload.
