	These things are just shared. Gummadi's research talks about the
things that were actually downloaded. So no, the accidentally shared
entire drives are not the reason why the average number of copies per
unique title is not much higher than one.

Given the number of people sharing unique personal files (photos, etc),
partial downloads and accidentally sharing entire drives, it's closer to
reality then you may believe.  I don't really mean infinite of course but
large.
