In a recent survey, conducted by digital music strategists Music Ally and research firm The Leading Question, it was found that illegal file sharing has fallen against figures from 2007.
The survey of a thousand music fans revealed that those who regularly download illegal music stood at around seventeen per cent as at January 2009, whereas in December 2007 the figure was twenty two per cent.
There are signs of a significant drop in file sharing from the 14 to 18 age group, with only twenty six per cent admitting to downloading illegal music, compared with forty two per cent.
It seems that music video streaming is taking the credit for this drop, with the likes of YouTube and Spotify offering access to free music as long as the user watches an advert or two.
i agree to a certain respect, but i will not stop sharing the odd song with my friends. i buy all my music, and if a mate hasnt got a song ill share it with them, the goverment are always telling everyone what to do .. i believe that the odd sharing of a mp3 on the computer does not hurt… its all down to money making these days makes me SICK!!!
