There has been a significant drop (24%) in illegal downloads of copyrighted materials by kids in the 8 to 14 ages bracket. And it looks like parental influence has played a large part in curbing this trend. Kids are afraid of getting in trouble with their parents.  The illegal downloading of digital copyrighted works by youth ages 8 to 18 has dropped by 24 percent in the last three years according to a survey by the Business Software Alliance. Fifty-two percent feared getting into legal trouble, while 51 percent said they were afraid of accidentally downloading spyware. Fear of getting into trouble with parents came in fourth with 48 percent.
"This study indicates that parents represent a growing and effective influence on the online practices of youth," said Diane Smiroldo, vice president of public affairs forBSA.
