Pirates and users of P2P services spend way more money on Music than regular Internet users.
The music industry has feared the result of this research for some time and now it is here:

These results are indisputable and produced by the independent American Assembly.
In Germany the file sharers spend 3 times more money on music than the ones that do not share music! So there you have it dear Music industry: You have been spitting your biggest customers in the face - whatever happened to "the customer is king"?

And even worse this industry has abused the surveillance horniness of our politicians and tried to sneak in several dubious Internet surveillance systems.

You will find the entire report here

I starting to think the music industry has been used as an excuse for Politicians/Lawyers to twist the laws to spy on people.

Used them as an excuse at their expense.

The .pdf was as of Nov. 2011. I'm looking for more updated stats on that. A lot's happened over the last year. Here you go, pirates are still the winners!

Weird. I think it was a copy error. I'll try to find that page again that I meant to post, but can't until tomorrow. Time's gone for online today. :( Apologies.
