Illegal downloading remains high

Still a lot of internet users keep downloading music without paying a pence for it.
Even though music industry and online platforms have been investing a lot of money and efforts to reduce the illegal downloading of music, the reality reflects a dissatisfy true.
According to a survey by The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) reveal that one in three internet users are using illegal sites to get their music.
When the 3,000 people that took part in the survey were asked about their future plans in the illegal downloading of music most of them agreed that in the coming six months they will intent to increase their illegal activities.
One of the executives of BPI said he is dissapointed that the number of people downloading illegal material remains high despite the efforts and publicity by the music industry.
Nowadays there are 35 legal digital music services in the United Kingdom.
However, the BPI registered a boost in the selling of UK singles specially in this year when the figures revealed more than 117 million sold.
Despite this the reality is not good: there are more than a billion illegal downloads every year in the UK.
