Download pirated music files increased sharply despite the risk of going to court

58% of users said that legal music download services were too expensive, 41% found it difficult to use and 43% generally did not have the songs they liked. This is the reason why people return to the path of sharing illegal content.

A recent survey by US research firm XTN Data shows that while the subscription for music is still growing, as many as two-thirds of people using file exchange software don't care about being invited by record labels to court.

Greig Harper, Director of XTN Data, said: " We estimate that about 52 million Americans use file sharing programs. In the past two years, the court has handled 3,500 legal cases involving this problem ".

More than 1/4 of Internet users have admitted they have been online downloading pirated DVDs. " While the music download service has met some content needs, the lack of similar services in the field of movies and TV, combined with high-speed, broadband Internet connectivity, has made the situation Illegal video sharing increased significantly , "Harper said.

The game is also becoming popular content, especially PC games, followed by games for consoles. The most downloaded games are GTA: San Andreas, Rome: Total War and The Sims 2.
