Happily
---Please provide proof of that or just admit you are a lying.---

Glad to. If only you were willing to do so for your ridiculous statements as well.

Let's see, for the year 2005, digital music sales totaled $1.1 billion.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/19/2005_digital_music_sales/
40% of that comes from ringtone sales, so throw out $440 million, leaving $660 million. 420 million songs were downloaded legally, and each track nets a record company 66 cents, so they made $277 million from the sales.
Compared to total revenue from music sales in 2005, which was $21 billion, you're getting less and less significant.

Recent studies have shown that less than 5% of the music found on iPods comes from the iTunes store. Again, you're dealing with a statistically insignificant number of songs compared to the overall number of songs on iPods.

Webster's defines "no one" to mean: Nobody
http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=no+one

Looking up "nobody" on Websters, you get this:
: a person of no influence or consequence

Hence, I stand by my statement. iTunes purchasers are such a small market segment that they have no influence or consequence.
