Research by The Leading Question discovered that regular downloaders of illegal music spend an average of £5.52 on legal music whereas other users spend an average of £1.27.
This comes as absolutely no surprise to me as I have always believed this. I genuinely believe that since I started downloading music I’ve actually spent more on CDs. Although I don’t tend to use iTunes much as the UK service’s catalogue doesn’t met my tastes, downloading has introduced me to numerous artists I never would have heard of or considered otherwise.
