It's a Norwegian article, but I will attempt a translation:


"Downloaders buy the most music

The record industry is wrong

Monday 12th of May 2003 04.05 am

Those who download music of the Internet are also the
people who buy the most records. This is shown by a
new survey by Nielsen
Nielsen/NetRatings have asked frequent users of P2P-
filesharing programs about their purchase habits. The
answers were quite surprising, and should prove to be
good news for the music industry which more more
complains how piracy affects sales.

According to the survey (acrobat-format), filesharers
are 111% more willing to purchase the music than the
average Internet-user.

People who do this are also the ones who spend
most money in the record stores."


Here is the report:

An excerpt:
"Nielsen//NetRatings reports that nearly 31 million
active Internet users, or 22 percent of the active
Internet population ages 18 years and up, downloaded
music in the past 30 days and 71 percent of this
audience purchased music in the past three months."
