Análisis
31% of the Spanish population used the Internet for downloading/listening to/watching music and/or films in 2008, 3 percentage points more than the European population. In the EU-27, Northern European countries such as The Netherlands, Luxemburg and Denmark lead the ranking with values of 46%, 42% and 36% respectively, standing as the countries that used the Internet for downloading/listening to/watching music and/or films the most. At the other extreme, countries like Italy, Romania or Cyprus record values clearly below the European average (28%), namely 15%, 16% and 16% respectively. This indicator has only been measured in 2008 so we cannot analyse the historical evolution of it.
