... so the other night I was surfing through 'pirate-infested' waters online looking for inspiration and I came across this wee graph...
...it's the results of a poll that the individual who created the site was running, asking about the ages of the people who were dropping by.
What I find fascinating is that 59% of the people who voted were over 40... which goes against the popular image that it's students in high schools and post-secondary situations who are the ones downloading mad bytes of music... it seems there are no small number of zoomers and other boomers at it too!
I wondered about who they might be...
Maybe they've already bought one, two, three copies of any given recording over the years - on vinyl, on cassette, on CD- that have been lost along the way, or become unplayable... and maybe they just want to hear a few of the songs again...
Maybe after 25 years of buying CDs at prices that were so incredibly over-priced, some of them might feel they've paid in advance...
