Legal Music Downloads At 35%, Soon To Pass Piracy

[news=http://images.slashdot.org/topics/topicinternet.gif]Entertainment Media Research released a study stating that 35% of music listeners are using legal download services, and that the percentage will soon surpass illegal downloads, currently at 40%. Slashdot has also previously reported on services like iTunes gaining in popularity over P2P services. "The findings indicate that the music industry is approaching a strategic milestone with the population of legal downloaders close to exceeding that of pirates," said Entertainment Media Research chief executive Russell Hart.

not a chance.
I haven't met or talked to even one person who's payed for music downloads before.
I find it extremely hard to beleive that 35% of all music downloads are legit.

Naw not possible, its just propaganda.

Yeah that is just retarded. I mean everyone here on this board must make up at least 98.7%. :D :rolleyes: Just kidding.
