Most music pirates in the United States. Russia in 24th place
The Russian BBC service cites a curious statistical study of the Musicmetric monitoring service, which is engaged in observing and analyzing the world music market. In general, experts have made a conclusion that is not very encouraging for label owners - a ban on access to sites such as Pirate Bay and other trackers has almost no effect on increasing the income of the music industry - the music is both downloaded and downloaded.
Contrary to all stereotypes about dense piracy, in the Digital Music Index study (estimated 750,000 artists), it turned out that Russia is outside the second dozen countries whose residents most often download music illegally through file-sharing networks - the Russian Federation in 24th place. The leaders in this dubious ranking were the United States, Britain and Italy. In general, a dozen of the "leading countries" in the number of illegal music downloads are as follows:
In numbers, the statistics look like this: in the first half of 2012, the Russians downloaded 22.7 million songs, while the Americans and the British - 775 and 347 million, respectively.
')
The reason, according to Musicmetric analysts, is banal - if in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom the spread of the Internet, including broadband, is an advantage of an entire country, in Eastern European countries the situation is exactly the opposite. A relatively small part of the population has access to stable Internet and, even with a much larger number of people in the country, the efforts of the “capital” pirates fall short of the confident victory of a number of prosperous countries in this sense, such as Canada, Australia and Spain.
