That is definitely true, but even those of us who are tech savvy, in my experience (so may not be universally true), don't download pirated material.
Probably far more common of media fans who have the software installed to catch their US/UK shows where it is easy to just add another torrent.
And I know a lot of people that think it is illegal to download commercial releases and copyright material without paying for it (*I* believe it is illegal too, but what's my opinion?!) and so don't, either out of fear of being caught or out of an ethical stance.
For years I didn't (aside perhaps from some clothing optional dramas!) and I'm still buying commercial CDs when I can (this week was two Divine Comedy and one similar band ... I've bought an average of 2 CDs a week this year so far)
A bunch of people buy their downloads from iTunes or similar (again the majority are not tech savvy, but that's true of the internet now, most people online aren't particularly tech savvy)
Audiobooks might be a special case, as most people I know don't buy audio books, but then most people I know *are* readers and own far too many paper books and enjoy reading them!
