Are we seeing a new wave of P2P activity that is threatening the very fabric of copyright monetization ??
http://advanced-television.com/2014/12/18/rightscorp-piracy-not-declining/Findings from Rightscorp, a provider of monetisation services for artists and holders of copyrighted intellectual property (IP), suggest that content piracy is in fact not declining and is still a very serious ongoing threat to copyright owners,
Rightscorp estimated that music consumption on file sharing networks grew from 2.7 billion digital songs in 2010 to 8.3 billion digital songs shared in 2013. Rightscorp also estimated that approximately 74 per cent of digital music was consumed on file sharing networks in 2013 without compensation to the copyright owners. In addition, the presentation forecast a 40 per cent increase in peer-to-peer file sharing by 2018, which includes 11.9 billion songs and over 3 billion movies illegally downloaded. Rightscorp’s estimates were based on source data from Cisco, Envisional, and Netnames.
Alternatively could this be one of those puff peice reports that companies such as Rightscorp release at intervals to justify their existence
A sensible reader of "findings" that are littered with the word "estimate" usually reaches for the pinch of salt before reading any further.
