Remember when streaming was the future of TV? Yeah that didn't happen. Increasingly, the ‘future of TV’ resembles the TV of old, but worse – more expensive, more fractured, more adverts. Is it any wonder that piracy is on the rise?
Because that's what's happening. According to London-based piracy monitoring firm Muso, piracy website visits for illicit streams were 216 billion in 2024, up from 130 billion in 2020 (though they were very slightly down on 2023).
