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

Poll reveals fans' downloading and copying habits

I generally buy new singles from iTunes and albums from my local record shop. But sometimes music just isn't available, especially dance tracks that the record company only releases on vinyl. In addition, I'm trying to get MP3s of all the old songs I have on tape and most of those aren't available legally, and even if they were I couldn't afford to buy them all.The other problem is release dates. Any song I hear on the radio should be available to download immediately, not in 4 weeks' time. That's 4 weeks for people to download illegal versions, or 4 weeks for people to wait for the proper download – by which time they will have either forgotten about it, or got so fed up with hearing it they won't want it.
