A survey conducted by the MPAA and Nielsen NRG found that nearly 40% of
parents are unaware that file swapping of copyrighted materials is illegal.
More than 40% of parents who participated in the survey know that their kids download music and movies over the Internet, and 55% of them know their kids did not pay for the content, while another 15% is unsure. Kids are also teaching the technique to parents. The study found that 1/3 of those parents who have downloaded movies and music learned how to do so from their kids.
