In the dynamic world of academic research, access to reliable and insightful data with clear and transparent methodology can elevate the depth and scope of your work. At MUSO, we have partnered with universities, researchers, and PhD students to provide unparalleled insights into global piracy and unlicensed content consumption. Our data enables groundbreaking studies, helping scholars understand the intricate patterns shaping content engagement worldwide.
Why MUSO’s Data is Vital for Academic Research
MUSO’s piracy data provides an invaluable resource for academic researchers, offering deep insights into industries such as film, TV, publishing, music, and software. This comprehensive dataset is crucial for analyzing the economic impact of piracy, regional consumption trends, and platform-specific behaviors. For instance, our Piracy by Title (PBT) feature enables granular analysis of individual films, TV seasons, or shows, with data available from as far back as July 1, 2019. Additionally, our Piracy by Industry (PBI) data delivers a macro-level view of trends across all major media sectors—including music, film, TV, software, and publishing—supported by historical data dating back to January 2017
One of the standout features of MUSO’s data is its regional and granular nature. Researchers can explore geographic-specific insights to identify piracy hotspots and analyze how licensing complexities influence consumption in different regions. With options to refine the data by genre or content type, academics have the flexibility to tailor their research to specific objectives.
Applications of MUSO’s Data in Research
MUSO’s piracy data has proven to be a valuable resource for informing policy and strategy. By understanding how piracy impacts release schedules or regional licensing strategies, researchers can develop actionable recommendations to mitigate piracy and enhance content accessibility. The data also provides insights into audience behavior, offering a window into digital consumption trends and the socio-economic factors driving piracy. These behavioral analyses can help uncover new angles in media and communication studies.
Economic impact studies are another key application of MUSO’s data. By quantifying the financial implications of piracy on industries, platforms, or regions, researchers can provide robust, data-backed evaluations that influence industry practices and policymaking.
