from the sharing-is-caring dept.

TorrentFreak reports on the results from a YouGov survey on the file-sharing and content consumption habits of citizens in the UK.

A new survey of young children and adults has found consensus on what should be charged for content online. In both groups, 49% said that people should be able to download content they want for free, with a quarter of 16-24 year olds stating that file-sharing was the only way they could afford to obtain it.

While cost plays its part, the report highlights the low percentages of children believing it wrong to access content "without the creator or artist's permission".

Although ethical concerns do exist, only 16% of children strongly agree that it is wrong to access content without the creator or artist's permission, whilst just 7% say file sharing is a form of stealing.
