The relationship between broadband and piracy

by billso on Friday, 9 July 2004

PCWorld.com — MPAA: Movie Piracy Is the New Plague: “Accord­ing to the sur­vey, 24 per­cent of respon­dents reported that they had down­loaded a movie online, and 69 per­cent said that they did not believe that online music piracy was a major con­cern. The study was per­formed in Aus­tralia, France, Ger­many, Italy, Korea, Japan, the U.K., and the U.S., and shows a direct cor­re­la­tion between broad­band pen­e­tra­tion and the inci­dence of piracy, the researcher says. In Korea, for instance, where broad­band pen­e­tra­tion is esti­mated to stand at 98 per­cent, 58 per­cent of respon­dents said that they had down­loaded a movie online.”
