Consumers are more likely to buy music downloads if there are new ways of listening to songs first, an expert has said. James Bott, co-founder of music search engine CompareDownload.com, stressed that there needs to be more legal ways of "sampling and tasting" streaming music because many people want to know what they are getting for their money before they go ahead with a purchase. He explained that legislation must be combined with new ways of selling music if there is to be any hope of encouraging people to obtain material in a lawful way. "We believe music is all about discovery and finding new and interesting artists," Mr Bott said. "A combination of new business models like ours and legislation will encourage people to discover and download music legally." A recent report commissioned by independent think-tank and research institute Demos, found that internet users who claim to never illegally download music spend an average of £44 per person on music every year.  |
