Un studiu comandat de catre Uniunea Europeana a dovedit, in sfarsit, ceea ce multi au intuit de mult: utilizatorii internetului nu vor sa plateasca pentru continut. Punct. Si nimic nu o sa schimbe aceasta stare de fapt.

De fapt multi afirma ca nu ar plati pentru continutul online chiar daca toate optiunile gratuite ar fi anulate.
