Details

Subject/Type: Piracy
Focus: Music
Country/Territory: United States of America
Objective: To better understand the use of digital music in five European countries.
Sample: 3.929 randomly selected adult Internet users from five European countries
Methodology: Face-to-face interviews (telephone interviews in Sweden)

Main Findings

11% of European Internet users swap files on peer-to-peer (P2P) networks (6% do so regularly, i.e. monthly). 6% of Internet users have bought from an online music store (4% do so monthly). In the United Kingdom and in Germany the number of regular legal buyers (5%) exceeds that of regular illegal file-sharers (4%).

File sharing is highest in Sweden (15% of Internet users), Spain (11%) and France (8%), but legal online buying is growing. 22% of online music buyers are also file sharers. 15% of file sharers have paid for music downloads and 50% of P2P users would not pay to download music.

45% of all file sharers transfer music to portable players regularly. 35% of illegal file sharers and 25% of online music buyers are buying fewer CDs. Both file sharers (34%) and online music buyers (37%) value CDs higher than digital music. Ringtones are the most popular digital music format. Following industry campaigns, 35% of file sharers cut back/stopped sharing, while 14% increased sharing. 50% cut back for fear of legal consequences, 35% due to virus fear, and 15% because they could not find desired songs on P2P networks.
