Best Answer

"Most people" don't have access to the internet (or a phone, or clean water for that matter). So no, most people don't download music illegally. However, the near majority of internet users might; because people don't often volunteer information that they committed a crime, the exact numbers aren't known.

In fact 12% of people download music illegally

Why do people illegally download music?

Answera lot of people download it because they don't realize the harm it doesn and they only think about themselves.when you illegally download music you sre taking money away from the artist who rightfully earned it the only reason ill illegally download music is if i can't find it on itunes Also people download because they may not have that money for those items.Put yourself in the shoes of a person that likes punk music, rock, etc and also computer games and programs.Those things cost alot of money, and if u were a poor person who makes, (lets say 10 $ per hour) then u couldn't buy all those things, so before u accuse someone of downloading stuff from the internet u must blame the uploader of the file or program, becasue acctually the uploader is the one who is acctually stealing, and not the downloader!!!!!!Question should not be why people download illegal music, rather it should be why people download music illegally?Ans: People buy music illegally because most of the time we like a particular song and a single song is never put on the store. it is bundled with an album which may or may not be worth of putting hefty money. and to say that we are taking money from the artist who has rightfully earned it, i truly feel its not the thing. He gets his share and much more than it. people would anyway buy a thing which is worthily. music is for masses and when u have so many ears i don't think artist is deprived of earning more that he would have thought..
