BLUE BELL, PA--After collecting results from an anonymous survey of a group of 20 students last week, it was found that 12 out of 20 or 60 percent of students obtain music illegally. Out of these 12 students, five knowingly steal music, while the other seven do it without thinking it to be a crime. An anonymous student was quoted to say that “I’m using YouTube and MP3 creators right now, and streaming music online from Soundcloud!” He knows that he is taking music without compensating anyone for it, but he only uses it for personal entertainment, not for monetary gain. Another anonymous student said, “I’ve downloaded music off of YouTube and other sites and made them into CDs for my friends to listen to. I didn’t think that something so seemingly harmless was actually illegal.”
