And were those 860 all from a small college town, where people have no real money and therefore are more forced to download music than buy it legit? If they took a good cross sampling from people in suberbia, the city, different income brackets, etc, then we could get some REAL evidence.
As it stands, I question any study that is directly funded by the RIAA. I've seen other groups that were not funded by any real "pro-MP3" people come up with the exact opposite findings: being able to download songs first makes most people buy MORE CDs because they know exactly what they are getting. Thus the huge increase in CD says after Napster came out, and the downward trend that started when it closed.
