Here's the site. Maybe Damo would like to point us to the part where Torrent Freak got the info from. https://www.npd.com/wps/portal/npd/u...ases/pr_120306 |
I have no idea unless they carry out surveys amongst diff age groups or are eves dropping cell phones. I think Yougov over here in the UK did a survey about downloading or copying music and films a few years back on diff devices. One of the guys who used to sell copied amiga games at the car boots had thousands of copies and I know for a fact he made a lot of bank on it.
Also dont know if you have seen some of the programs they showed on TV over here about fake items being sold as the real deal. Well they uncovered a group who had hundreds of dvd machines set up for the sole purpose of copying films and then selling them via different outlets. The person to person pirate is a lot bigger than what u might think
