According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) there have been over 180 million legal music downloads this year sold through services such as emusic and apples iTunes.
The IEPI does not directly measure the amount of pirated music available but said that only 900 million tracks a rise of only 3% from the same time period last year.
Executives in the music industry believe the increase in legal music downloads has to do with the 14,000 odd lawsuits the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) has initiated in 12 countries. The majority of the people sued by the RIAA are men aged 20 – 35. Although some elderly women and young girls have also been targeted.
"We are now seeing real evidence that people are increasingly put off by illegal file sharing and turning to legal ways of enjoying music online," IFPI Chief Executive Officer John Kennedy said.
As services such as emusic and iTunes continues to grow they expect the number of legal music downloads to increase ten-fold.
