Re: Perceived value
@elizabethv - great points about the false impression that it is a victimless crime.  That fits the age dynamic and those who believe that the network is a virtual annonymity and that everything is secretive.  It is like having a private conversation in front of a microphone.

I expect we'd see similar numbers in the US and Europe.

Re: Mobile Millennials Lead Video Piracy
@dcawrey - That's an extremely valid point also. If you really pay attention to media, it doesn't take long to start seeing people in other countries complaining about their inability to access Western content. Something I have never truly understood, and definitely never been able to make sense of. Though I know piracy is huge in Asia too, I know someone who frequently travels over there and always comes back with knock off DVD's filling a suit case.

Re: Mobile Millennials Lead Video Piracy
@srufolo1 - I completely agree, no one really cares about the economic effect of piracy on the media industry. For the most part, when people think of the media industry, they think of Hollywood, and all the stars, and even the directors/producers who we all see as making significantly more money than most of us will ever see in a lifetime. What they don't see are the Boom Techs, and the Lighting crew that don't make the money those in front of the cameras, or on the red carpet make. Most probably also don't realize there is a slew of Academy Awards given out every year, at a separate ceremony that isn't aired on live TV for all the "little guys." Those are the people that do end up getting hurt by piracy. How hurt, is anyone's guess.

Re: Perceived value
@dmendyk - I'm not sure the popularity of piracy comes from not seeing value in the product, as much as believing it to be a victimless crime. Though if I really think about it, I can see why it could be the content having value. I suppose it might depend on the person. I see media as having value, in fact - working in the mental health industry, I recognize that media is by far by most utilized coping skill. Realistically though, I still think it's easier to justify piracy by believing no one is really hurt by the piracy, than because there is no value in the media itself.

Re: Mobile Millennials Lead Video Piracy
@dcawrey  Quite frankly, I'm surprised that in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia, anyone can even bypass all the censorships to even get content, let alone pirate it.

Re: Mobile Millennials Lead Video Piracy
There's probably a huge disconnect between what people in the Middle East think about stealing content. In many places, it's hard enough to get a hold of western content. Piracy is just a method of access for them.

Mobile Millennials Lead Video Piracy
It's crazy that piracy exists with content seemingly up for grabs, but I do not believe for one minute that anyone gives a rat's a-- about the economic effect of piracy on the media industry.

Perceived value
Most people don't see content stealing as theft in large part because they don't think content has real value. It's just a way to kill some time. The fact that most content now is available in non-physical formats just reinforces this perception.

Piracy in the Middle East
I don't know why they have the US with downloading illegal material or whatever be piracy which is ridiculous. I think their shouldn't be so many laws/rules on things.
