Television content represents half of all digital piracy, with viewers tuning into illegal TV content 5 times a month.
A new EUIPO study revealed the significant demand for pirated TV programs across Europe, with an increase in traffic to websites offering illegal online TV content.
In addition to television, the study analyzes patterns of online piracy and intellectual property rights violations related to films, music, publications, and software.
The study found that economic and social factors, including income inequality and high youth unemployment rates, contribute to the growing demand for pirated content.
