Watching The Cheap Seats Australia & Mel Tracina (Culture Correspondent) happened to mention piracy on screen
The reactions from the audience & hosts were priceless lol
It is pretty common in Australian media, piracy is quite widespread here so I don't think there's really a social taboo around it. Public figures usually reference it in a joking way to protect themselves but we all know what they're really saying and doing.
Holy shit this is some of the absolute worst data visualisation I've ever seen, thankyou for this
Yeah it's pretty bad, I had to scroll for a while to come across the statistics I was interested in. Between 15% and 20% of Australians unlawfully stream content, while for downloading it's up around the 65% mark. Unlawful live streaming of sport is around 25%, as is video game piracy. Music streaming has lower levels of unlawful access - only 12%. However music downloading is again much higher, around 62%. Most lawful content is delivered via streaming these days, so it makes sense to me that the numbers are lower for streaming and higher for downloading. These are all self-reported figures of course, so it's likely that they are somewhat underestimating the scale of unlawful behaviours.
