As of a month ago The Pirate Bay alone has over 21 million peers, or simultaneous users. That's only a portion of the p2p file sharing that's going on, who knows what the total number is. When the RIAA/MPAA started suing people years ago that number wasn't near that large, it was probably a few million total.
