“A new NPD Group report…estimates up to 70% of U.S. kids aged 9 – 14 download music in a given month. Almost half, or 49% use iTunes, while another 26% use Limewire. MySpace was listed as the third most popular site for sharing music, at 16%.” Who lets their 9-year-old use credit card-driven iTunes? And who in the hell still uses Limewire? Also no mention whatsoever of BitTorrent sites or MP3/full album blogs. Just a different (illegal) downloading world than the one inhabited by tweens? Or an oversight in the group’s research?
