Somebody else would have done it, but that applies to all numbers like this.

@zett, if they can sustainably do stuff for free/ad supported that others charged for, that is a good thing.

@rise2it: are you saying that all service businesses are worthless?

On the whole, its interesting, just interpret "generated" a bit sceptically. Its more honest that similar numbers you see from other organisations (RIAA, BSA for example).
