“Almost half of pirates believe stealing content is acceptable because there are no consequences to the behavior” Jennifer Kent, VP, Research, Parks Associates, said in the release.
Parks is set to discuss the results during “Digital Piracy and Distribution,” a virtual event set to take place on Thursday, September 22, at noon Eastern time, as part of the firm’s Future of Video: OTT, Pay TV, and Digital Media.
