“An estimated 6 million people have stopped downloading copyrighted music from the Internet over fears that they may sued by the recording industry, but the overall number of Americans who download music is rising with the popularity of iTunes, Napster and other legitimate online music services, according to a survey released today by the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
.Approximately 23 million people are active downloaders of music, based on a phone survey of 1,371 adult Internet users conducted in February.
That compares to 18 million estimated downloaders in November and December 2003.”
