UK. Illegal downloaders spend the most on music

People who illegally download music from the internet also spend more money on music than anyone else, according to a new study, reports The Independent.

The survey, published today, found that those who admit illegally downloading music spent an average of £77 ($127) a year on music – £33 ($54) more than those who claim that they never download music dishonestly.

... An estimated seven million UK users download files illegally every year. The record industry's trade association, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), believes this copyright infringement will cost the industry £200m ($330m) this year.
