According to a survey there is a sharp decrease in number of people who downloads the music tracks illegally through pirated sites.
Around 39 per cent of music fans currently download tracks from illegal sites, compared to 43 per cent last year, the annual digital music survey of 1,500 people found.
However, of those, 72 per cent said they would stop if they were contacted by their internet service provider (ISP).
There was a voluntary agreement between Britain's six biggest ISPs and the British Phonographic Industry according to which, the internet providers will write to customers identified as illegally downloading material and warn them that their activity is being monitored.
And this is contributing to the sharp fall of number of people downloading music from pirated sites.
However, illegal downloading showed no signs of slowing down among teenagers.
Some 58 per cent of them said they were not paying to download music, compared to 57 per cent last year and 41 per cent in 2006.
