\"music<\/p>\n

How has Spotify impacted music piracy in the real world?\u00a0There have been a number of independent studies into the impact that Spotify and similar legal services have had on piracy. Below are some of the findings and links to the original reports (some reports are not in English):<\/p>\n

Sweden<\/h4>\n

\"Sweden<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018Music Sweden: File Sharing & Download, 2011 Q2\u2019<\/a> showed that the number of people who pirated music fell by 25 percent in Sweden between 2009 and 2011.<\/p>\n

Denmark<\/h4>\n

\"Denmark<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2013, the Danish IFPI<\/a> published research headlined: \u2018Streaming services are a pirate killer\u2019. The key finding was that 48% of the users on legal streaming services have previously downloaded illegally, and 81% of them say that they have now stopped.<\/p>\n

Norway<\/h4>\n

\"Norway<\/a><\/p>\n

In Norway, which continues to have the highest digital revenues per capita in the world, a recent IPSOS report<\/a> showed that in 2008 almost 1.2 billion songs were copied without permission. However, by 2012 that figure had plummeted to 210 million, just one fifth of its level four years earlier.<\/p>\n

U.S.A<\/h4>\n

\"USA<\/a><\/p>\n

In the United States, Sandvine\u2019s most recent Global Internet Phenomena Report<\/a>\u00a0states that P2P Filesharing now accounts for less than 10% of total daily traffic in North America. The report also notes that\u00a0\u2018filesharing continues to disappear from many fixed access networks across the globe as Real-Time Entertainment options [like Spotify] are providing subscribers a wealth of content at reasonable prices\u2019.<\/p>\n

U.K.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"UK<\/a><\/p>\n

The UK regulator Ofcom completed their Copyright Infringement Tracker, Wave 4<\/a>,\u00a0in September 2013. Their key finding:\u00a0of all digital music consumers, three quarters were legal only; just one seventh illegal only and a eighth were a combination of both.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Netherlands<\/h4>\n

\"Netherlands<\/a><\/p>\n

In August 2013 Spotify published it\u2019s own peer-reviewed work entitled Adventures in the Netherlands<\/a>, which reported an encouraging downward trend in piracy as well as a long tail effect where the hardcore 10 percent of pirates took over half the music files whereas half of the pirate population took three files or less all year.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
