That huge reported users online number may be a trick by our NOT-friends the RIAA.
Their server farms for fake MP3s and scanner bots may be mirroring themselves via network crosslinks to generate the appearance of MORE users than there really are and ALSO vastly up the odds of THEM appearing in searches for MP3 files.

In short, they are attacking the network itself with their activities.

It's like DDoS attacking/spreading viruses on the internet because there's porn and piracy on it.
No, I think David probably did that screenshot as a joke , using a photo-editing suite. If you look at the screenshot, at the bottom there is a program called IPhoto Plus. He probably used that to alter the number of people online.
