[wraggster]

A new U.S. survey sponsored by the American Assembly has revealed that piracy is both common and accepted (http://activepolitic.com:82/News/2012-01-03c/Survey_Shows_Piracy_Common_and_Widely_Accepted.htm l). The surveys findings show that 46% of adults and 75% of young people have bought, copied, or downloaded some copyright infringing material. 70% of those surveyed said it's reasonable to share music files (http://piracy.ssrc.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/AA-Research-Note-Infringement-and-Enforcement-November-2011.pdf) (PDF) with friends and family. Support for internet blocking schemes was at 16%
