According to a study conducted by the University of Portsmouth Business School in the UK, the average illegal file downloader is a 28-year-old male.

The average illegal downloader is a 28-year-old male, according to a researcher from the University of Portsmouth Business School. Researcher Joe Cox added that most of these illegal filesharers are notoriety seekers and consider themselves the "Robin Hoods of the digital age.

"Some filesharers see themselves as masked philanthropists - the Robin Hoods of the digital age," Cox told Network World. "They believe their activities shouldn't be considered illegal, which means finding the most appropriate form of deterrence and punishment is extremely difficult. I think it's likely some benefit is also derived from a feeling of 'getting one over on the system' too."
