Half of Young Norwegians Say Online Piracy Is an Acceptable Way to Save Money


A new survey from Norway reveals that 50% of young people under 30 believe that pirating content is an acceptable way to save money.

Those who want the full spectrum of streaming options, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Max, Apple TV, SkyShowtime, Viaplay, Discovery+, and many others, need deep pockets. Aside from entertainment industry losses, these include potential malware and security threats, as well as the notion that pirate services can be associated with organized crime. Interestingly, roughly two-thirds of all respondents say that they have considered the potential negative consequences of using pirate sites and services but less than half (47%) agree that piracy supports organized crime.
