Young Males Share Music
from the well,-duh dept
In case you couldn't have figured it out on your own, it turns out that young American males are the most likely to download music online. Of course, considering this is one of the major target demographics of the music industry, it would seem that this would be a valuable lesson in what their biggest customers want. Instead, of course, this will most likely be used by the music industry to label all young American males as criminals.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Why Not?
Next they will say everyone but young American males are evil copyright criminals because they aren't the music industries main demograph...obviously the rest of us aren't spending enough money on their $18 piece of crap CDs that we are defrauding them of their right to be greedy bastards.
Oh, and you can check my logs, I've never downloaded a single movie, song, or warez file from the internet...so lets head off that argument right now...
