The music industry could be facing a crisis because of the amount of young people still illegally downloading from the internet, a report has warned.
The report by Jupiter Research suggests European consumers who download music from illegal file-sharing websites outnumber those using legal services.

It says illegal networks are used three times as much as legal ones.

It also warns that file-sharers, particularly young people, have little concept of music as a paid commodity.

The UK music industry has been cracking down on illegal file-sharing.

The BPI recently stepped up its campaign by launching 65 new legal cases against those it accuses of large-scale file-sharing.

The music industry waited too long to act on this, if they had of come in earlier with cheaper offers and means to make buying a cd an advantage, then it would of worked...Kids, Adults alike have had all this time to find programs and sites that provide illegal stuff...why buy now...we get into habits!

[ShadowFox]

I'm addicted to downloading, but I like to purchase things too, It's just whether it appeals to mae as worth the ammount they are asking... cds around here can be pricey, why pay $25 when I can spend 25 minutes d/ling!!!
