Various studies showing a drop in file sharing are misleading, according to this report, which cites a wider survey showing that file sharing continues unabated through networks not covered in the other studies, especially eDonkey. "The proportion of total net traffic used for peer-to-peer sharing has declined only slightly in the US over the last year, from 70 to 65 per cent. Furthermore, file-sharing in Europe has not dropped at all - it now accounts for 70 to 80 per cent of net traffic. And internet usage in both the US and Europe is still growing, meaning that file-sharing is growing overall."
