Global Piracy (Muso)
Streaming is on the rise as major torrent aggregators like Kick Ass Torrents have recently been taken down by the US Federal Government.
Muso explained to Found Remote that pirates are moving towards streaming because "the convenience of streaming, as well as the anonymity, the leaned behaviour legal streaming platforms are teaching them, the rise of the millennial, and their lack of need of content ownership." They also pointed out that regionally certain countries aren't moving away from P2P sharing like torrenting.
