After two years of decline, piracy rates have rebounded with one-in-four Australians admitting to having unlawfully consumed online media in 2022.
Credit:The report also showed 26 per cent of respondents allowed someone outside their household to use their login details.Roughly one-in-four Australians pirated online content in 2022, as rates of unlawfully consumed media rebounded across film, television, music, and live sports viewership.
Video games were the only category with a continued decline in unlawful consumption, whereas movie, television, music and live sport piracy all grew by two to five per cent between 2021 and 2022.Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said the statistics were "disturbingly high" and hoped new technologies would be adapted to protect Australian artists while ensuring consumers can still easily enjoy entertainment media.
The report also showed 26 per cent of respondents allowed someone outside their household to use their login details. Compounded with the growing cost of necessities and inflation at a three-decade high of 7.8 per cent, the allure of free content is more tempting than ever.
