High volume infringers analysis report
- antr 13y agoI identify myself with the below statement/finding, and this should be an eye-opener for many politicians and lobbyists: This distribution of infringers also provides some interesting insights into claimed consumer spend on legitimate content and its relationship with infringement. During an average three-month period, infringers tend to spend more than non-infringers on legal digital content (£26 vs. £16). A similar pattern, although less pronounced, is seen when we include wider spend on offline content-related purchases (£110 vs. £83). Furthermore, the top 10% and top 20% of infringers tend to spend the most, in contrast to the bottom 80%, whose lower spend is more in keeping with non-infringers. But this hides significant variation between content types. For example, among film, software and video game consumers, non-infringers reported a higher average quarterly total spend than infringers.
