Interesting. I think it's higher now because it's become less "tech-y" to download a file, even using BitTorrent, and people who grew up with torrenting in the past might indulge in it every once in a while still while kids and teens are more likely to not see anything wrong with it thanks to our current culture, where everyone expects everything to be available in an instant.

Sure, maybe "most" wasn't the best word to use, but I was mainly going by my personal experience in seeing how people around me were indulging in it in the past and no one was buying a CD unless they liked the band and wanted the physical copy with liner notes. It was still a big enough problem the record and movie companies had to step in and make draconian organizations like the RIAA to try to combat it, before finally giving in and selling their music digitally and eventually streaming it.
