78% of illegal music downloading in Canada is done by 12-24 year olds

Canadians between 12-24 years of age are responsible for 78% of illegal music downloading, even though they make up only 21% of the population, Pollara survey says. 12-17 year olds are the most likely to strongly agree that "artists are too rich already so downloading won't hurt them." 37% of respondents used a CD burner to record music within the last six months, up from 18% in 2001.
