Lets face it, the record companies have allowed this piracy. Many people have grown up getting free music, and so for them it is difficult to get in the habbit of buying "legal music".
Digital music should have been addressed years ago.
The music in the UK is still over priced, the laws complicated. Untill this is sorted, piracy will always be with us. You hear people like Robbie williams signing a multi million pound record deal. I think it a disgrace. Cut the cost of an Album and the artiste money!! I,m sure most of us would prefer the real item "CD", so we can copy, rather than a digital track downloaded. Make Albums £4.99 or less if you want to make an impact on piracy!
