Ahead of a "Piracy and Digital Distribution" conference, Park Associates (via Advanced Television) published some data on the state of piracy in the United States, showing in particular that nearly 25% of homes connected at the top debit regard piracy as acceptable. This figure was only 14% in 2019.

“Consumers pirate not because they want to, explains Serhad Doken of the company Adeia, a digital specialist, but because they are often forced to do so, because of an increasingly legal offer complex and fragmented, more designed for companies than for usersâ€. Jennifer Kent of Park Associates adds that almost half of pirates think stealing content is acceptable, since this behavior - according to them - has no consequences.
