Ed Sheeran.

The inaugural Digital Music Index, produced by monitoring service Musicmetric, has analysed huge swathes of illegal downloads.


Who is the most illegally shared artist in your area?

It logged the approximate locations of users obtaining music using BitTorrent - a method of getting files by downloading from many users at the same time.

The data suggests that Ed Sheeran - with his album + - is, so far this year, the most illegally downloaded artist in 459 of the 694 cities, towns and villages covered by the research.

Its not a bad album at all... Clearly a UK focus in this story 'tho, Rihanna's "Talk That Talk" was the most pirated album worldwide.

Hence the thread title " And the most pirated artist on BitTorrent in 2012 in the UK" and the B(ritish)BC article title "A glimpse at piracy in the UK and beyond." :p
