The number of people downloading music illegally is not decreasing, despite the availability of new legal services, according to a music industry research.
A survey for The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) revealed one in three consumers are using illegal sites.
BPI chief executive Geoff Taylor said the findings were "disappointing" and expressed concern at a rise in illegal downloads from blogs and newsgroups.
More than 3,000 people aged between 16 and 54 took part in the online poll.
When questioned about their future plans, current users of unauthorised services reported that they actually intended to increase their illegal activities in the coming six months.
