IFPI share the facts on legal vs pirated

Filed in archive Analysis on January 18, 2009

The IFPI, who were ironically domain-jacked by the pirate bay last year, have today released some figures that detail the breakdown of paid vs illegal downloads for music.

Even with the massive growth in legal music distribution through the likes of iTunes and Amazon, supposedly they still only take up a measily 5% of downloads, with illegal, mainly peer2peer taking up the other 95%.

Supposedly 40 billion music files traded hands illegally in the past year, a truely phenominal number.... madness!
