so where are they getting
these numbers from?
Quote:
Traffic to the Kazaa file-sharing network has fallen 41 percent since the Recording Industry Association of America started suing college students for illegal music trading, according to Web monitoring firm Nielsen//NetRatings.
"Kazaa, the most popular file-swapping service, had 17.4 million U.S. unique visitors in March, according to Nielsen//NetRatings, a consulting company that monitors Web traffic. In August, Kazaa users had dropped to 10.4 million, and the numbers are still falling," San Jose Mercury News reported.

we know the number of overall FastTrack users is largely unchanged - the above claims are based on
US p2p traffic. but i am curious as to how accurate this claim is....specifically, how can an outside firm distinguished what percentage of Fast Track traffic is US based? Anbody know the technical methodology at work here...some kind of statistical sampling, perhaps, extrapolating the conclusion by taking a sample of Fast Track ip addresses?
