More P2P nonsense for you. A new survey from research firm XTN Data reckons that, despite the ongoing high profile litigation campaign against the sharing of copyright content online, the use of P2P for illegal purposes in the US continues to rise, with 52 million people now regularly using the technology. That said, the number of people sharing music is seemingly falling, while the number of people sharing movies and TV shows is on the up. Now take from this what you will. The music industry's litigation campaign is more high profile - so is that why music file sharing is in decline? Or is it that there are now good legit sources of digital music online, while the digital supply of movies and TV shows is, with a handful of exceptions more or less none existent? I wonder.
