What is the source - of the data (not the report)?

This quote from the same
story shows that the figures do not reflect what is going on in filesharing - i.e. how much people use their p2p clients and how much they share and download on them - but rather how often they visit the websites of the well-known p2p vendors.

Despite the fact that legal restrictions have forced Napster to offer only a restricted service, it remains the most popular music destination in Europe, with a 4.7% reach. It's followed by Audiogalaxy (3%), Musiccity Morpheus (2.2%), Netbroadcaster (1.7%) and MP3.com (1.5%).

Just recently we
read how a million copies of Kazaa software were downloaded from Download.com alone in a single week after Morpheus got into trouble, with another million downloads for the close competition. That tells quite a different story about the popularity of filesharing.
