SPAIN: Hollywood Threatens Ending DVDs Due To Piracy Downloads.
GUARDIAN.UK/ The unauthorised downloading of films from the internet is so common in Spain that it might join South Korea as a nation where dvds are not sold.

"There has never been a clear message here that downloading is piracy. The statistics show that 30% of the Spanish population uses file-sharing sites, against an average of 15% in the rest of Europe."
