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

Poll reveals fans' downloading and copying habits

I think illegal downloading is just unfortunately the way forward for most music listeners now. But to be honest, if you look at poor quality of album art now, there's not much going for the physical format.If I do download it's generally only with the massive bands who won't miss my £9.97, with a lot of the smaller bands I like I feel a little more inclined to give them my cash - they need it more!But maybe it's just a sign that we're going to have to see more excitement in the live music world now? Album sales are just going to fade away at this rate, but a live experience isn't just something you can watch on a screen, you need to be there to feel the atmostphere, the excitement of seeing that talent on stage.
