Digital Consumers in the Online Age, it was estimated that £12bn worth of copyright material is downloaded illegally every year. Based on the assumption that on one P2P network at midday on a weekday, there are 1.3m users sharing content.

The report also found that some 7m people in the UK illegally download.
