* This question was phrased by the source as follows: "To what extent do you download and/or stream music in a legal or an illegal way?"

The source states that: "digiMeter provides a snapshot view of the adoption and use of media and ICT. It is based on the self-reporting of media consumers. As such, the results should be interpreted as the perception respondents have of their own media consumption. The methodology does not allow for assumptions on the effective media reach."
