Strikingly absent from the survey of 5,000 members of the public is any mention of illicit file sharing. The survey was conducted after the London-based copyright lobby group launched the first wave of suits against British file sharers.

23 per cent of Britons are getting broadband for the porn

Brits are sad people. Getting broadband for the porn... GET A F'ING LIFE AND GET LAID FOR REAL!

... and no, real life sex is not just a myth. You just need to come out of your house once every while...

So that leaves 77% whose main motivations were piracy and/or downloading flash animations.

LOL Well, we know better.....

And I suspect that 25% is about normal, if not lower than normal for most of Europe :)

And find a girl ugly enough to sleep with you.

Or you could try hookers. Not in the Middlesbrough area though. Ugly ****ing whores. I'd rather have sex with an electric mincer.

Well, I guess if you included the number of people who have downloaded porn at some point from the Internet, it would be the high 90's to be honest :)

You don't get Australian porn because no-one will pay money to see 20 seconds of animalistic rutting.

Are there any more particular details of this survey? Like where it was carried out, across what age range and under what circumstances?

I mean I don't want to be harsh - but are we surveying factory workers in Luton, or executives in London? School children in Manchester or 30 - 40 year olds in a Library in Oxford?

The details matter!

(On a side note, what percentage of AOL users didn't have computers? Somewhere in the 70s wasn't it?)

Don't you understand!?!?!?  The very hour that I have sex, the Universe will be consumed as all the quantum flux energy everywhere is released in an instant, resulting in an explosion that will make the Big Bang look like a cheap party favor.

Besides, axe-lady, we've already been over this several times.  There is no woman anywhere that would have sex with me, I am an anti-sexual, I involuntaryily exude a hormone that cause women to become unarousable.

Sure, blame it on a hormone instead of your stunning personality.

Ehm, I don't mean to pick on you Lib, but maybe your lack of female companionship has more to do with your uncomfortableness with physical contact with women?

It's shocking news.  We seem to be behind the rest of the world in consumption of porn....

Oh, and it is good for you.... apparently:

Of course, I wouldn't know, I only use my computer for good and ethical purposes.

Porn ain't bad... as long as you don't devote an entire year's worth of bandwidth on it in a single week. :p

To the guys who think they can't get sex, keep up that attitude and you probably never will and die a virgin. Show some confidence and it'll be allright ;) Really, I've seen the most ugly guys with a girlfriend just because they don't sit in their rooms 23 hours a day behind their computers :p

Takes more than just being out in public.  It takes effort...and sometimes you click with someone and sometimes you don't.  Cest la vie.

As much as I hate to agree with the sex/axe lady (was that axe thing from the HLP movie, btw? I think it was)---she's right. [Other] Guys, just go out and socialize! I mean, you may be butt ugly, but have you ever seen those guys that look like a tire ran over their face, and they got 20 gallons of expanding foam pumped up their ass, yet they still have a really hot girlfriend? Why? Cause they're not afraid of girls, and they just go out and talk to them.

Liberator, as much as I would prefer it if you didn't procreate and spread your ideals (booyah, political jab! :D), I'm suggesting you get off the computer and go say hi to that girl next door! Try talking about something that would interest her as well, hm?

I suppose it IS pretty obvious that:

The ugly guy who goes out and socialises stands a far better chance than anyone who never leaves their home.
