Music fans have revealed that they do not want to pay to stream music, according to new research. UK Music's survey found that the number of consumers who would not pay to use a streaming music service is up to 78 per cent from 65 per cent in 2008. Of those 14 to 24-year-old surveyed, nearly 50 per cent said they would continue to use P2P websites to get free music online. However, the popularity of listening to music through a computer was evident with 68 per cent saying they did so on a desktop or laptop everyday. The research also revealed an overall dip in the illegal downloading of music from 63 per cent to 61 per cent. UK Music chief executive, Feargal Sharkey, said: "Over the past 12 months, the licensed digital music market has diversified enormously - epitomised by competition in the download market and the traction being gained by streaming services." Earlier this week, Apple revealed plans to stream its first live concert to iPhone users when dance act Underworld play in San Francisco later this year.  |
