What the RIAA doesn't want you to know is that they're using the download statistics off of P2P networks to help them target markets. With geographic info being supplied by your ISP/IP and matching it up with the number of times radio stations for that area played it, they can figure out which areas should be playing a song more to increase their record sales.
