Maybe because of online predators parents are blocking access to the web or that the main filesharers arent kids no more. Possibly RIAA lawsuits driven them off to other areas and they cant get a good number. Bull crap..

This may not be entirely acurate since adults might download files for their childeren . there is no way a survey like that proves anything .

30% ADMIT they are downloading . there are probably a lot more who download but don’t admit it .

also it’s easy to manipulate a young child . just say ” downloading is bad ” to them before they take the survey and most will say they don’t download .
