Most iPod users don't pay for music, says research

Despite the phenomenal success of Apple in building a market charging
for music downloads, research has shown that more than 80% of iPod
owners do not pay for digital music.

Just 17% of European iPod owners purchase music on at least a monthly basis, according to a report by JupiterResearch.

However, 30% of iPod owners download music illegally for free and 23% do the same with video.

The figures include paid-for music, as well as tracks downloaded free from legal and illegal sites
