Oko sedam miliona ljudi u Velikoj Britaniji besplatno "skida" muziku sa interneta

Oko sedam miliona ljudi u Velikoj Britaniji besplatno "skida" muziku sa interneta, čime državi nanose ogromnu štetu. Međutim, stručnjaci upozoravaju da je takve navike teško promeniti. U jednom izveštaju se upozorava da podizanje optužnica protiv prekršilaca zakona o zaštiti autorskih prava možda i nije baš najbolje rešenje.

The report for a body advising the government on copyright looks at consumer attitudes to illegal downloading. Researchers found 1.3 million people online on just one file-sharing network on a weekday and worked out that over a year, they were getting free access to material worth 120 billion pounds.

The report says seven million people who download illegally in the UK can't all be students, older people must also be involved. But it says there's uncertainty about what is or is not illegal, and the fact that so much on the internet is free only adds to the confusion.

The report warns the government that criminalising downloaders could have huge economic costs and might not even work.
