In the 2024 report file sharing was #4 in downstream volume. 9% of total compared to 39% for video. Youtube was 16%, Netflix 12%. Piracy is still way less common compared to streaming, tho I do enjoy the unbeatable quality of a 50GB bluray remux
There's been a substantial uptick in pirate streaming - dodgy IPTV Internet Protocol Television apps abound.

Are you limiting "Pirating" to "File sharing" or are you including pirate content on demand by means not including either bittorrent of file sharing?
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.
but vague on details, there are many sources quoted by no drill down on methodology, context, details that matter to nerds, etc.
strange how much torrenting i used to do. theres just more content on youtube thats interesting.
eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_and_Dorothy
via bitTorrent or eDonkey from MVGROUP: https://docuwiki.net/index.php?title=Herb_and_Dorothy
on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnYcPLLiGFk
Is that a copyright violation on youtube? Do we care enough to find out and or report it?
