I used pirate streaming websites as a kid, but I thought fewer people use them today because the video quality sucks. Any stats on the percent of people using them over time?
- defrost 2y agoNot really my focus, you'd have to hunt about. This is current: According to research conducted by NERA Economic Consulting and the US Chamber of Commerce’s Global Innovation and Policy Center, over four-fifths of all online piracy-related activities are linked to illegal streaming websites. This trend is especially prominent in the TV and movie industry. ~ https://dataprot.net/statistics/piracy-statistics/ https://dataprot.net/statistics/piracy-statistics/ but vague on details, there are many sources quoted by no drill down on methodology, context, details that matter to nerds, etc.
- gosub100 2y agoModern piracy sites have 1080p standard. Many titles are in 4K and 720p.
- NavinF 2y agoOh I've noticed that, but the 1080p bitrate is horrible. Looks more like upscaled 480p DVDs
