In yet another one of those rather predictable surveys about P2P, it has been revealed to everyone that, Japan, a modern, technology filled country, has embraced sharing with open arms.

As this survey was carried out by their versions of the MPAA and the RIAA, it mainly focuses on legal sharing, telling people that it has risen by a staggering 180%. Good gracious, now a whole 9% of people shared authorized material!

The more interesting part is that people in Japan do not stick to Bittorrent as all of us in the west do; they use something called Winny, a spinoff of WinMX, a program that was shut down a while ago (yet still remains popular in Japan, through unoffical Peer Caches) Bittorrent is all the way down in 6th, far below the 1st it is pretty much everywhere else in the world.

Captivating, ey?
