Nearly two-thirds of US Internet users have paid to download or access online content such as music, movies or news articles

And the other third are using bittorrent and getting it for free.

Pretty much have to pay for anything worthwhile. Especially since the whiny ba$tards threw a fit over music file sharing. And are prosecuting.

Happy New Year Decimon

In the survey, 66 percent of Internet users haven't paid for digital music online or software; 79 percent haven't paid for apps for cell phones or tablet computers; 71 percent haven't paid for digital games; 82 percent haven't paid for digital newspaper, magazine, or journal articles; 84 percent haven't paid for videos, movies, or TV shows: and 85 percent haven't paid for ringtones.

I know I haven't...

Don’t use them, don’t pay for them; however, I do pay for websites that have special benefits/memberships such as sewing websites. I’d have to be might desperate to pay for news.
