'Nearly 100 per cent of music fans copy music illegally'

Poll reveals fans' downloading and copying habits

Musical climate is very different to past generations where taping off the radio was the norm. The mere existence of the internet means that more music is widely available to the masses. Whence before a person had to discover a band by reading a musc press or stumbling across them at a gig, now all someone has to do is go onto a myspace. This generally means that music fans that enjoy a wide variety of musical styles and many different artists can branch out into unknown territories. If you hear of a new band influenced by one of your favourite bands, you would be inclined to find some of their music. For these music fans downloading music is a necessity when a CD tends to cost about £10. I agree that record companies and artists need to find a happy medium between fans downloading their music and buying their merchandise.
