TORONTO — Canadian research firm Solutions Research Group released a study that reports 60 percent of Americans believe online piracy is not a serious offense, 80 percent of Americans aged 12 and older use peer-to-peer file-sharing sites and that 32 million downloaded a full-length movie at least once. Twenty million of those consider themselves “regulars” and have downloaded in the last month.
Kaan Yagit, the study’s director, told XBIZ a nationally representative sample of 2,600 Americans was used to garner the results. This means the samples’ demographics were proportional to those of the U.S. (For example, if 12 percent of Americans are Hispanic, so were 12 percent of Solutions’ samples.)
Keith Webb, vice president of gay content studio Titan Media, said the results of the study were “scary” and hopes they will open the eyes of those in the adult industry who are not yet fighting Internet piracy.
