wrote about a new "digital music index" London Musicmetrics watch the popularity of file sharing site in the United Kingdom. Results showed that the act of file sharing torrent activity rather limited. The same group has launched a U.S. version of his report, showing more or less the same.
United States
downloaded more than 97 million albums and singles using BitTorrent during the first half of 2012, Gainesville, FL designated as "pirate capital" of the country, influential in a new report.'s 97 million torrents downloaded by the United States, about 78 percent were single albums and 22 percent. Assuming album contains 10 tracks, the total number of downloaded songs would have exceeded 759 million in six months.

The report admits that all songs were downloaded unauthorized, but it suggests that, since many of them are characterizations are accurate. course as we have seen in the UK, it seems really show is how file sharing is widespread. hidden No effort is marginalized in society, as some would have us believe, but something a large percentage of the population is engaged in on a regular basis.
A much more interesting (and relevant) just kidding Joe Karaganis report is most recent report is on going to be published on the "culture of copying" in the United States and Germany. The first analysis teasing attitudes of file sharers in the United States whether or not "reasonable" to perform certain types of file sharing. And the results suggest that (and many politicians) of the MPAA belief that all you have to do is to "educate" people on the basis of very little evidence. The key point is that, contrary to the assertions of some, the "moral" issues of file sharing are rarely black and white.
Karaganis explains that some seem to think that there are only two aspects of file sharing: remember that there are two conventional ways to talk about the ethics of reproduction, both in connection with the theft of physical property. Firstly, that the copy is
that theft because

is like theft

because it deprives the owner of the advantage of the economic potential sale of the property (in the case of a transfer copier) . Call this position MPAA defense of culture as a market that depends on the rarity or controlled distribution of digital products.
then states that the copyright laws were actually built around a certain type of copy: retail copy rather than personal copy. And the above data certainly suggest that people's opinions of any kind of change "moral" issue in context. But ... In addition (and this is important), based on age. The younger generation does not think that the base exchange with friends and family must be considered quite reasonable. Ways to reduce the data certainly suggest that the general argument that "piracy is theft" is completely missing their mark in education campaigns. People just do not buy it. First, the strong moral arguments against errors filesharing structure of public attitudes. As expected, the public is involved in a large number of these negotiations the context of law. For most people, such as theft and are not diametrically opposed moral judgments on the copy. However, operating in a continuum. Depends on the context and the scale at which the copy is complete.
