Digital piracy refers to the illegal copying or distribution of copyrighted material via the Internet. It negatively affects the creative industries, including film, TV, publishing, music and gaming.
Online piracy has an economic impact, as it affects government revenue streams and puts you – the consumer – at risk of financial loss. It also opens up security risks to consumers such as ID theft or exposing children to inappropriate content.
Pirate operator sites offer access to audiovisual content that has been stolen from a legitimate TV operator. This can be accessed via illicit devices or apps. Legal devices such as smart TVs, smartphones, and tablets may also carry illicit apps.
Piracy services generate revenue through various means, including advertising, donations, subscription services, selling user data and affiliate marketing.
