"Websites dedicated to “stream ripping” music from YouTube represent the biggest threat to the global music business, industry figures have warned... ... estimates suggesting that a third of 16-24-year-olds in the UK have ripped music from the Google-owned platform." I find the "1 in 3 young people have done it" highly suspect, especially if that estimate comes from "industry figures". Even if that were true, "1 in 3 have done it" doesn't say anything about the frequency at which they do it. I think this is mostly alarmist, and my personal opinion is that music piracy is in decline in the face of easy and cheap legal alternatives.
