This whitepaper explores the reality of tv piracy in Scandinavia, with a focus on illegal streaming sites that pose the biggest threat to the TV and Film anti-piracy landscape. In 2015, 74.50% of Scandinavian audiences illegally watched their content on these sites.

The content protection industry has long struggled with proving value of its services.
In short, it is challenging to draw a clear line between content removal and revenue
loss prevention.
MUSO's approach to content protection is grounded in the company’s industry leading database of piracy sites, and our understanding of the audiences that visit them. It is underpinned by the fact that not all illegally hosted content is equally popular meaning some content removals are more impactful than others.
To better measure the impact of anti-piracy, MUSO have developed three metrics.
- Removal impact score
- Visits disrupted
- Users displaced
In our white paper: Measuring ROI in Content Protection, we reveal how these three metrics can answer the question: How valuable is anti-piracy?
