Broadcast | July 13, 2004

In a spring poll of 1,200 of Canadians over 12 years old commissioned from Pollara Inc., the number of people who say they’ve used popular file-sharing software Kazaa has grown from 8% in the fall of 2001 to 26% in spring 2004. The survey shows that almost half of those who use file-sharing sites downloaded between 20 and 100 tracks in the past month, which translates into roughly 180 million tracks per month.
