Studay says pirates actually buy the most music
A new study based in the UK denotes that music pirates actually spend nearly double the average consumer on music. This seems to support a view that pirates are merely illegally downloading music to 'trial' it before a full purchase.
A new study from the UK (via The Independent) has shown what many piracy-advocates have been saying for years. While the average person spends around £34 a year on music, people who self-identify as pirates spend an average of £77. The pirates are also the ones buying music in greater quantities. For years, piracy advocates have claimed that most users only pirate as a way to 'test' new bands and seek out more music to buy.
