According to an EUIPO report, digital piracy in the EU remains high but did not increase in 2023, standing at an average of 10 accesses per Internet user per month. This trend is evident in all categories of online content, with the exception of publications, which saw a decline in piracy, and music, which was affected by an increase from the beginning of 2023. The European Union Intellectual Property Office's (EUIPO) study titled "Online Copyright Infringement in the European Union: Films, Music, Publications, Software and TV, 2017-2023" found that half of European Internet users' access to pirated content involves TV content (five times per month). Also according to the study, considering piracy as a whole, rates of Internet users accessing illegal content are lower than the EU average in Austria (8.9), Spain (8.5), Poland (8.3), Romania (7.9), Germany (7.7) and Italy (7.3). Streaming is the most commonly used method of accessing pirated content. In fact, illegal streaming has shown an alarming trend, with a 10% increase in visits to pirate websites for IPTV services in 2023. The study estimates that up to 1% of EU internet users may have subscribed to illegal IPTV services in just two years, not including users who had subscribed before 2022.
