How do you get your music?

The majority of people said they downloaded their music illegally, however there was an almost balance as many people said they purchased it, whether that be online or in stores. They could tick more than one option as there are many ways of getting a hold of

YesNo

The next question was ‘How often do you read them?’ the majority of people choose the ‘every couple of weeks’ option as this is typically when new releases of magazines are brought out, such as Kerrang!
