CNN.com - Study: Legal fears changing landscape for music downloaders - Apr 26, 2004: "While legal fears have apparently led millions of Americans to stop swapping music on the Internet, the overall number of users who download is increasing, a survey finds.
More than 17 million Americans, or 14 percent of adult Internet users, have stopped downloading music over the Internet, the Pew Internet and American Life Project said in a study Sunday. Of former downloaders, nearly a third say they stopped because of the highly publicized lawsuits filed by the recording industry since last summer against more than 1,000 users. At the same time, the study said, the number of users who say they do download music jumped to 23 million, compared with 18 million in a similar survey that Pew did in November-December 2002."
