YouTube and Nico-Nico Douga don't count as they are streaming media. I'd love to see research into the estimate of P2P users from an ISP point of view, as I always feel the figures in these surveys are a bit low; how much is due to my misconceptions, how much due to people lying, and how much due to the sampling method, I don't know.

Fewer and fewer rental shops carry video tapes these days. Most new releases are strictly DVD (or Blue Ray). Were the questions related strictly to movies? I wonder if the numbers for file-sharing would go up if they were talking about TV shows? Maybe they left out the video tape only people because they didn’t want to skew the data?
