One third copy DVDs - survey

Thirty-six per cent of Brits questioned in a survey admitted to making illegal copies of DVDs.

The level of DVD piracy in the UK was higher than that of the US where 32 per cent of people owned up to copying DVDs.

Males aged between 18 and 24 are the most likely to copy DVDs, the survey from Futuresource Consulting found.

Comparing results with a similar survey carried out last year, Futuresource found that Brits were less likely to copy movies but more likely to copy TV programmes than they were in 2007.

Most copies were made from DVDs that had been purchased, though a significant proportion – 30 per cent – were made from rented DVDs.
