you are right. There is no way that out of 7M downloads all of them would buy the movies. All the Hollywood loses are their estimates and who knows how they make them.
...but some of them certainly would have bought or rented the movie instead, or gone to see it in the theater. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle; they're losing business to piracy, but not as much as the raw numbers might indicate.
Certainly it's enough to greatly concern both the movie and music industries. If they weren't worried about it, they wouldn't be pushing any of this crap.
