How Bad Actors Adapt to Advanced Techniques
Unlicensed Streaming Sites
In 2023, unlicensed streaming accounted for 83% of all film and 98.6% of all TV piracy.
Illegal streaming sites acquire content through various illicit means. Unauthorized recordings, leaks, and hacking are common methods. Illegal streaming sites use donations, advertisements, subscriptions or selling user data to rip-off profits from copyrighted content.
Torrenting / P2P Network
Torrenting is a technique for infringers to share pirated videos, music, or images within peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. Similarly, individuals can upload files from their devices for others to download. However, this activity is traceable.
In 2023, Torrent piracy accounted for 17% of all film piracy and 1.4% of all TV piracy.
Cyberlockers | File Hosting Services
Cyberlockers such as Dropbox, or MediaFire are non-traceable sharing sites. The infringers upload video files to password-protected cloud drives and then share copyright protected content to their subscribers.
User Generated Content (UGC)
User generated content (UGC) platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok offer extensive content libraries to their followers. Sly infringers could potentially use loopholes of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) safe harbor provisions to evade the prosecution and cause huge losses of brand owners.
