33% of iPod owners are ’stealing’ music on the net
I’m surprised the amount of iPod owners who download illegal music is not a lot higher. I would not have been surprised if it was 90%. I take this as good news that most people are not stealing music online.
Digg.com, posting, “A third of iPod owners are downloading illegally, a major study has found. “Free activity - both legal and otherwise - significantly outweighs paid activity,” said Mark Mulligan, vice president at JupiterResearch, which carried out the study.”
Another interesting fact was that only 17% of iPod owners buy music online at least once a month. I would assume from these figures that most people are buying music CDs or copying friend’s music CDs.
