In the USA, around 200 million illegal music downloads take place every year, in spite of laws to stop them. In the UK, the figure is about 100 million – the second highest in the world. The music industry complains that these downloads are unfair to artists because they stop them earning money from their work. It is impossible to know exactly how much money artists and record companies are losing because many people who download illegally do not have any money to spend. However, one thing is certain: overall, the industry is earning a lot less than it earned a few years ago. Record companies pay for adverts telling people that downloading music without paying is as unacceptable and dishonest as stealing from a shop. But the adverts are unlikely to work because people see the music industry as rich and powerful compared to them. Most do not see sharing music online as irresponsible.
In fact, the number of illegal downloads is now going down, but that’s not because of the warnings. For people who are impatient to hear the latest tracks, streaming services like Spotify now offer a simple and safe way to enjoy them without the need for downloads at all.
