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

Poll reveals fans' downloading and copying habits

A few thoughts - Most illegal download quality is not really good enough - It is aimed at the lowest bitrates.First week pricing of singles and then hiking the price cuts sales overall.Radio "playlists" mean you don't actually get to hear many bands, just the same tracks repeatedly! More often than not a chunk of the track gets talked over!Does anyone now actually listen to an album as intended?As to taping songs, where can you buy a radiocassette these days? I took one back to Comet for a repair - (the CD had broken) "We can't fix it, we'll recycle it for you!" I had it fixed by a local firm!Supermarket "lost leading" Well they used to sell cover versions on compilation albums. They sell a VERY limited range at cut prices. That does real music retailers no favours and in turn affects buyers who no longer have a local store.Is it any wonder (Chameleons track) that folks download?
