Claims a majority of 14-24yo want legal file-sharing, and it predictably says the best method is to begin taxing Internet and mobile phone connections to pay for it.
British Music Rights, which is composed of the British Academy of Composers & Songwriters, Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society, Music Publishers Association, and Performing Right Society, recently released the results of a survey analyzing the music consumption behavior of 14-24yos (average was 22).
Carried out in February and March 2008 by the University Of Hertfordshire, BMR bills it as the largest UK academic survey of its kind. Though considering the sponsors it's only logical to assume that they'd only release a survey with findings in their favor, which it does.
For the most startling discovery is that 80% of those who admitted to illegal file-sharing want a legal P2P service, and "place a considerable monetary value on it.
