Vocalist of the number one Brazilian rock band Barão Vermelho and highly popular as a solo creative person, Cazuza left his personal mark on Brazilian music in cattiness of his early death, through and through his songs which go forward to be recorded by other artists.

Average iPod has 842 illegal tracks

The average young person's MP3 player carries more than 800 illegal tracks, a survey has found.

Research undertaken at the University of Hertfordshire showed that half of 14 to 24-year-olds share their digital music collection, allowing others to freely copy over tracks.

The average MP3 player contains 1,770 songs, with 842 of those being obtained illegally.

Fergal Sharkey, ex-Undertones lead singer and chief executive of British Music Rights, told The Times: "I was one of those people who went around the back of the bike shed with songs I had taped off the radio the night before. But this totally dwarfs that, and anything we expected."

Sharkey added that making paid-for, monthly subscription services more readily available would help reduce music piracy.

"The positive message is that 80% of downloaders said they would pay for a legal subscription-based service, and they told us they would be willing to pay more than a few pounds a month," he said.
