Study says Illegal Downloaders spend most on music
The NZ Herald reports 
that “Brits who illegally download music from the internet also spend more money on music than anyone else [...] those who admit illegally downloading music spent an average of 77 pounds ( NZ$176) a year on music –33 pounds more than those who claim that they never download music dishonestly [...] The findings suggest that plans by the Secretary of State for Business, Peter Mandelson, to crack down on illegal downloaders by threatening to cut their internet connections with a “three strikes and you’re out” rule could harm the music industry by punishing its core customers.” In other news UK opposition MP Tom Watson recently questioned the minister responsible in parliament .
