Small bands starting up it would, from over here bands just a yr or two into their singing career are always on the radio putting up annoucements to kiwis that pirating their music is not helping them. NZ got a bad rating for pirating music. Recently on a talkback radio they put up a no holds barred tell all whether you pirate music or not. out of the 44000 that rang up over the week, 94% said they do it without a second thought.
And thats just NZ! Their must be millions around the globe doing it.
I watched on this vid about the Police Raid of torrents - Piratebay site, i think was in sweden, every day or week can't remeber but wouldn't be surprised if its a day, there are something like 12million users who hit that site. The guys brought a house and practically had the whole place setup with servers. :rotfl:
