Research company Ipsos-Insight's latest digital music behavior study dubbed as TEMPO found that American P2P users are getting more and more excited about movies and music videos than previously. According to the study, in the last quarter of 2003, 21 percent of American downloaders aged 12 years or more had downloaded at least one full-length movie from the Net.
The study, which is concluded quarterly, found that age group of 18-to-24 are, rather unsurprisingly, most interested in downloading movies -- 37 percent of them had downloaded a movie during the survey period of three months.
The movie industry has somewhat predicted the trend that is getting more and more popular as the people's available storage space and Net connection speeds improve. The industry has set up various Net-only distribution channels in the States, most notably the MovieLink service and hopes to avoid the same kind of situation that has faced the music industry. The music industry seems unable to find a decent source of income to replace the falling CD sales figures.
