llegal downloads increase in the UK. Approximately 7.7 million people choose to illegally download music on the internet, according to new figures. A report revealed that more than 1.2 billion tracks downloaded song this year, to the detriment of the retail industry  £ 219 million.
British music recording industry, BPI, commissioned a study based on the habits of Internet users. PBI Leadership, Geoff Taylor said illegal downloading has become a disturbance "parasitic". The report claims that more than 75% of music in the UK illegally obtained via the Internet. The musicians do not receive payment, including song writers and music companies. Illegal downloading was done in spite of existing digital music market is served by 67 legal firms.
The report said these sites are illegal and cyberlockers MP3 payments, ie sites that offer space for storing files obtained illegally has increased very worrying. The report added there was still no effective deterrent to prevent illegal downloading and the new law "very necessary". "The parasites that threaten and cause the generation of talented musicians who do not get a chance for a career in the music world, and prevent investment in the digital entertainment sector is growing rapidly," said Geoff Taylor. He appealed for action to help "the UK achieve its potential in the global digital marketplace."
Mark Mulligan, an analyst with the distribution of music via the internet, said: "The music industry already struggling to cope with piracy for more than a decade, but they have not succeeded until now." "Failure is caused by rapid development in technology, faster than the steps to match it." He added that there is now a generation who believe that music is available on the Internet for download free of charge and they are no longer a stand to save money to buy LPs. That's why the activities of music or file sharing is still being done.
BPI previously reported that music sales in Britain grew for the first time within six years.
