When the sun goes down, the filesharing begins
Although this news doesn’t come as much of a surprise, it’s still interesting to note that almost all filesharing goes on at night. An article on the Times Online states that people who use filesharing programs like Limewire and newcomer Shazzle typically do so when the sun has set.
This would make sense, because during the day, normal people have to go to work, college or school. According to the report, there are more than 900 million illegal music files available for filesharing and 95% of filesharing takes place after dark.
The report also states that eight million people are on filesharing networks at any one time. We’re not sure about that stat; it sounds a little low. It looks like company bosses can breathe easy now, safe in the knowledge that few of their staff are filesharing during work hours.
Now, if only we could find a day job that involved filesharing.
