That said it also means there are still 10,000 people that now own the CD and didn't pay for it which I feel is wrong.

I really don't think most of those people are in fact keeping the songs, they will download an album, listen to the tracks a couple of times. and junk them after they get tired of them. IT the modern day equivalent of taping a song off the radio and then rerecording over it when you get tired of the song.
