Streaming May Have Slowed Piracy, But It Certainly Hasn’t Stopped It [CHART]
The convenience of streaming has unquestionably slowed music piracy. But it certainly has not stopped it. According to a late 2016 study by Ipsos for the IFPI which surveyed 12,600 internet users in 13 countries, more than 1/3 said they had still accessed copyright infringing music over the previous 6 months. And how they're pirating music has changed.
So why aren’t stronger laws being implemented and enforced against piracy?
Because Google has been one of the most powerful corporations in politics. BUT with the issues around Terrorist Videos Google may finally be in a very hard position justifying their lack of oversight and tolerance for criminal activity.
