Voted paid majority, but I'm sure there are the odd borrowed CDs, or shared files that came onto the system for one reason or another - a reasonably small % though.
That said, there are probably also albums that I've paid for multiple times over the years, upgrades from cassette (even a few minidisks) to CD, re-buying due to lending and never seeing them again, or losing, or scratching, and then also re-buying some due to being bought initially in inferior quality, or rights managed. Overall I'm pretty sure it worked out very much in the music businesses favour.
(And let's not get into VHS>DVD>Bluray re-buying on the visual side, often from the same conglomerates…. )
