Comment research shows continued growth in file-sharing and downloading of mp3s is now common place. This survey supports the view that prosecuting the mass population is not the right approach by the labels and rights associations.
British Music Rights research shows that file-sharing is done by a large number of people and even more are downloading music.
Music week reports these findings:
42% of those surveyed say they have uploaded files.
63% of people illegally download
48% of tracks on the average MP3 player are not paid for
just 15% of respondents are persuaded not to upload because of the risk of getting caught
95% engage in some form of copying
