I have done, it's a pretty poor report that constantly pulls out figures without showing where they're coming from, I'd be very interested to see the source data as without it the report is next to useless.

Despite it stating fairly regularly that a third of users use illegal sites to obtain music, less than 10% of those surveyed actually admitted to downloading illegally, and it's from these 88 people that they pull the £77 average spend figure. I'd be far more interested to see what the figures were for the 20% of people that admit to using file sharing networks, but claim to do so legally, I'd be willing to bet that their average spend is way way down (after all, if they're getting free legal music, why would they spend money on getting the same legal music again?).
