Utilizing Piracy Data for Academic Research

Piracy consumption data offers valuable perspectives on consumer behavior, industry trends, and the impact of anti-piracy efforts. Below are several examples of how this data can be incorporated into academic research:

 

  • Assess how piracy trends affect legitimate revenues in industries like film, TV, music, or software.
  • Use piracy data to analyze consumer demand for content that is unavailable or unaffordable in certain markets.
  • Evaluate the impact of legal, technological, or educational anti-piracy measures on consumption trends.
  • Examine how piracy data reflects cultural preferences and regional differences in content consumption.
  • Investigate consumer attitudes toward ownership, accessibility, and ethics in the digital content economy.

Case Studies and Testimonials

MUSO’s piracy data is widely used in academic research, industry analysis, and policy development to provide insights into digital piracy trends. Here are some key examples:
  • EUIPO’s Annual Study on Online Copyright Infringement in the EU

    The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) publishes an annual study that tracks online copyright infringement across the EU.

     

    The latest report, Online Copyright Infringement in the EU, 2024, relies on MUSO’s data to analyse trends in visits to piracy websites across music, film, TV, publishing, and software industries.

     

    This study provides policymakers with critical evidence of how piracy behaviors evolve over time, helping to shape enforcement strategies and copyright policies.

  • The Economic Impact of Digital Piracy

    A study titled Impacts of Digital Video Piracy on the U.S. Economy, conducted by NERA Economic Consulting and commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, leverages MUSO’s piracy data to quantify the scale of digital piracy and its economic consequences.

     

    The report estimates that digital piracy leads to losses of between $29.2 billion and $71.0 billion per year for the U.S. content and distribution industries. MUSO’s data on visits to piracy websites played a critical role in modeling these revenue losses.

  • Understanding Piracy’s Influence on OTT Streaming Services

    A study exploring the impact of piracy on Over-the-Top (OTT) streaming services, published in Marketing Science (Volume 40, Issue 3) examines the relationship between piracy consumption and subscription-based video-on-demand (SVOD) services.

     

    The research uses MUSO’s piracy website data to assess how shifts in legal content availability influence piracy demand, providing valuable insights for streaming platforms looking to combat unauthorized content consumption.

  • Reinvention Journal: Student Piracy Habits

    An academic article published in the Reinvention Journal (Vol. 15, No. 1) explores digital piracy behaviors among university students, using MUSO’s data to identify trends in film and TV piracy consumption.

     

    The research highlights the influence of pricing models and accessibility on student engagement with piracy, offering implications for content providers seeking to adapt their distribution strategies.
