this is only the latest of surveys to show this
These surveys really have no use though for a range of reasons, the main two being:

1: They do nothing to separate out those who have no interest in music, so the average spend for those that don't download is dragged down by those that just don't care about music, and whilst the average spend might be higher for downloaders, downloaders make up a far bigger proportion of hardcore music fans than non-downloaders, so the average should in all likeliness be even higher. The data is essentially skewed.

2: Nearly everyone who downloads claims to "try before they buy", but very few actually do. It's an easy way to justify your download habits to people.
