…The Beatles. Are you surprised? I’m not, especially since the Beatles were latecomers to the whole digital download game with iTunes.
The Fab Four’s material was found to be uploaded via a whopping 187,687 online files through a mixture of cyberlocker, torrents and illegal streaming websites. Estimating an average of 1000 downloads per file, [online anti-piracy company] MUSO said this equates to nearly 190 million downloads per annum.
