Re: 8 percent of what?
Most likely: world population.
Since the U.S. reached a landmark 300 bil. people recently, 6 mil of 300 bil. is like .002 percent.
This would also mean that piracy, in comparison to the total ammount of piracy in the world, is very low in the U.S. Oddly enough. Of course Asian and European coutries do, in most locations, have faster internet connections than those in the U.S..
I do have to agree with some though, that number seems a bit skimpy.
EDIT: Actually, 6 mil of total population is an even smaller percent. My second guess: A small test group? Who knows with these guys.

| 300 BILLION? People? In the US? Umm, your off by a factor of 1000. There's 300 Million people in the US, NOT 300 BILLION. 6 Million = 2% of the population.

Er? 300 Billion people? I'm not sure if you have your wires crossed, if you're confused about the total world population, if you're counting specific bacterial counts, or if you're being sarcastic.
Because, the world's population, at a stretch, is 10 Billion. The US has 300 Million people. That would make 8% be 24 Million pirates. Which isn't a small number at all. |

I dont think the US population is larger than the World's total population. Unless you want to count the 294billion aliens living on Mars and other planets as part of the US. 
Current projected world population is around 6,565,850,673
Current US Population: 300,473,963
6million of that is about 2% |
