iPod owners are significantly less likely to download music illegally, according to a new report by XTN Data. In a recent consumer survey, the research firm found that while 25% of people regularly download music using file-sharing software, only 7% of iPod owners do so. The report also found that iPod owners buy 25% more albums (2.26 albums every month) than the average music fan, and that 79% regularly listen to music via the radio, and 50% regularly download music from iTunes.

Also: a lie is a lie. But this survey did not say “more iPod owners admit to downloading music than others,” which would have to do with honesty. It just said that iPod owners are less likely to break the law. And, as I just said, that has nothing to do with honesty.
