ArsTechnica: When not producing reports about the state of software piracy in China, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) produces reports about the state of software piracy among children. Their newest report is interesting because it claims that children (ages 8 to 18) are now downloading significantly less music, movies, and software than they were only two years ago.

The study shows that 57 percent of all respondents said that they have never downloaded media from the Internet without paying for it, up from 40 percent in 2004. In every area that the study examined, there has been a sharp drop in the last two years. Gaming downloads among children declined from 32 percent to 25 percent, movie downloads fell from 17 percent to 10 percent, and music downloads plummeted significantly, from 53 percent in 2004 to 32 percent today.
