People who illegally share music files online are also big spenders on legal
music downloads, research suggests.
Yes, the BBC suggests that people who illegally share music files pay an average of ?5.52 a month on legal digital music, while other music fans pay a monthly average of ?1.27.
Why? One theory I have is that my downloading legal music they are repenting their sins, and showing they are not bad people. I try to download 1 legal song a month, it makes me feel better and less of a pirate, giving something back to the industry. I don’t know if others feel the same way.
The study also shows that MP3 players are preferred to MP3 phones (ditto).
