Teenagers and students have an average of more than 800 illegally copied songs each on their digital music players,as the largest academic survey of young people’s music ownership has found.
The research also showed that half of 14 to 24yearolds were happy to share all the music on their hard drives,enabling others to copy hundreds,or thousands,of songs at one time.
Although_illegal_copying_has_become_widespread,the_scale_of_the_problem_uncovered_by_the_University_Hertfordshire_left_the_music_industry_surprised.On average every iPod or digital music player contained 842 illegally copied songs.
Illegal copying in some form or another is undertaken by 96 percent of 18 to 24yearolds surveyed,and falls to 89 percent of those aged 14~17.Nearly twothirds copy CDs from friends,and similar proportion shares songs by email and copy all the music held on another person’s hard drive,acquiring up to 10,000 songs in one go.
British Music Rights argues that the solution partly lies in developing new legal services that make breaking copyright unappealing(无吸引力的).
Mr.Sharkey,chief executive of British Music Rights,said,“The positive message is that 80 percent of downloaders said they would pay for a legal subscriptionbased(签署协议的)service,and that they would be willing to pay more than a few pounds month.”
British Music Rights refused to release the exact amount but it is believed to be about £10 a month.
The organization is trying to help to record companies persuade Internet service providers to sign up to a new type of music service,in which vast catalogues of songs are available for an addon fee to a broadband package.Agreements with providers such as Virgin Media are expected in the next few weeks.
In France last week,Orange,France Telecom’s mobile arm,reached agreement with all four main record companies to provide downloads of more than a million songs for mobile phones and home computers for £9.40 a month.

A new project will try to protect twentyone of the world’s most important food crops. This is a joint project of two organizations, the Global Crop Diversity Trust and the United Nations Foundation. It will be the largest such effort ever made.
The aim is to collect seeds or reproductive material from one hundred sixtyfive thousand varieties of the crops. The effort will secure more than ninetyfive percent of the endangered crop diversity represented in gene banks in developing countries.
The fight against hunger cannot be won without securing crops that are in danger of being lost. Many of the crops are known as “orphan crops ”. Orphan crops do not get much attention from modern plant breeders but are especially important in poor countries.
Some orphan crops cannot be grown from seeds. Instead, cuttings, roots and cell cultures will be gathered from gene banks.
Still another goal is to improve communications between farmers and plant breeders. The organizers say they look forward to a time when breeders in Africa can find the same crop genetic information as those in Europe and North America.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has agreed to provide thirty million dollars for the project. Norway will provide seven and onehalf million dollars.
The Global Crop Diversity Trust says at least four hundred fifty thousand seed samples will go into the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Seeds from around the world will be stored there in case the planet suffers a terrible disaster.
