Done. If they made a profit they have nothing to worry about. It means... downloading music doesn't have that much of an impact only to the ISPs who pay for bandwidth.
18-25? Then please fill out my dissertation survey!

Too old here, but seeing Kazaa there brings back painful memories of dial up and anything bigger than about 2 meg taking ages to D/L.

Done.
I didn't have the foggiest in regards to the music industry questions, but I did manage to get two of them spot on according to the facts you included at the end.

Done, profit etc were guesses.
But, does anyone know if this national law ( us Dutchies around here anyhow) still counts or is there some silly EU rule that contradicts with this:
http://www.ivir.nl/legislation/nl/copyrightact.html
Which basically in the past and (I think) still now means films and music can be downloaded or copied fine, as long as you don't upload/spread. Haven't heard anything about piracy on the news here lately.
Software have licenses which you break though but films & music, I don't know...

That says the person who makes the copies or has them made exclusively for them.
ie. you can backup your own stuff but it doesn't let you carte blanche download whatever you want.

I don't like this question:
it seems kind of loaded and is also 2 questions in one which might have different answers

I agree, I believe that question should be split into two. I understand that it breaches copyright but I know, in my case atleast that I wouldn't bother buying music anyway, I didn't before the internet why would I now?? That's what the radio is for.

Im far to old to fill it in.

Done it!
I used to download music illegally when I was younger but these days I very much try and support the artists, there's also the bonus of getting a decent compression rate when paying for music whereas downloading illegally you'd get all different kinds of bit rates.. some shocking.
Also ~79p per song is not a lot to ask, CDs used to be about £15 a go in woolworths!
