Corrolary : if piracy leads to anything above 1 sell for 3500 illegally downloaded songs, it is actually more beneficial to majors that Spotify is.

Maybe a good point - but 3500 listens isn't the same as 3500 downloads.

True, but it's easy to download a lot of music you don't listen to so it may be closer to 1:1 than you might expect.
