A new study in England finds what many of us have known for some time, that illegal downloaders of music actually spend the most on music. While there are those who do nothing but get free music, I have always thought that most who get some for free are doing so becuase they really love music and can't afford to buy all they would want. But they are willing to buy some tracks or discs. It's the same formula for success that Radiohead and other bands have followed by releaseing their free music. If you download "In Rainbows" you might still pay something for it if you wish, but you might want some older albums and would have to pay for them. I know I am no expert on the whole illegal downloading crisis, but I have always felt this to be true, so punishe these folks at your own risk, music biz!
