Il P2P c'è e durerà ancora parecchio

PARE CHE IL fenomeno del download "pirata" di contenuti dalla rete sia un po' più ampio di quanto non si creda. Secondo una ricerca autorevole, perché condotta dal Pew Internet & American Life Project,

"About 36 million Americans - or 27% of Internet users - say they download either music or video files and about half of them have found ways outside of traditional peer-to-peer networks or paid online services to swap their files, according to the most recent survey of the Pew Internet & American Life Project.

"The Project's national survey of 1,421 adult Internet users conducted between January 13 and February 9, 2005 shows that 19% of current music and video downloaders, or about 7 million adults, say they have downloaded files from someone else's iPod or MP3 player. About 28%, or 10 million people, say they get music and video files via email and instant messages. However, there is some overlap between these two groups; 9% of downloaders say they have used both of these sources. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent for results based on Internet users."

Insomma, o viviamo in un mondo di ladri oppure il modello convenzionale di distribuzione dei contenuti ha fatto il suo tempo...
