In January 2024, MUSO published a report focused on pirated video content titled “ Video Content Piracy: Harnessing the Power of Data and Analytics to Seize Billion-Dollar Opportunities .” According to this report, the number of accesses to pirated video content in 2023 was more than 141 billion, an increase of approximately 10% from the previous year. In addition, Canada and Sweden are cited as countries where the number of visitors to pirated sites is increasing, and India is cited as a ``piracy growth market'' where the rate of increase has been quite high in recent years.

MUSO's new 2023 Industry Piracy Report, released in February 2024, compiles aggregate figures and measurements for a wide range of pirated sites, including movies, TV shows, software, and published content. Pirated sites include both sites where you can download pirated content and sites where you can directly watch and view pirated content via streaming.
According to the 2023 Industry Piracy Report, the number of accesses to pirated sites in 2023 will be approximately 229 billion, an increase of 6.7% from the previous year. The categories with the most accesses were 'TV programs' with 103.9 billion accesses, an increase of 4.2% from the previous year, 'Publishing' with 63.3 billion accesses, an increase of 7.4% from the previous year, and 'Movies' with 29.6 billion accesses, an increase of 6.5% from the previous year. It can be seen that there is an increasing trend in all categories compared to the previous year. Although the absolute number of pirated music and software is smaller than other categories, the rate of increase is the highest, with music and software increasing by 13.4% and software by 14.1%, respectively.
According to MUSO, in recent years they have been concerned about the rapid increase in traffic in the publishing category, especially pirated manga, rather than movies. In the report, MUSO said, ``Due to the global popularity of American comics and Japanese comics, copyright infringement of publications has increased significantly in recent years.In 2020, it will overtake movie copyright infringement. 'It has become the second largest pirated medium after television shows.'
Looking at the traffic sources for TV programs, which account for the majority of the pirated market at 45.4%, by country, the United States is the largest at 13.83% of the total, far behind Russia, which ranks second. In terms of access to pirated TV programs, the UK ranks third, Canada ranks fourth, and India, which is said to be a growing market for pirated copies, ranks fifth. The most popular TV program is THE LAST OF US , and the majority of the others are dramas, but some are anime as well.
Also, according to MUSO, streaming sites account for 96.3% of pirated copies of TV programs, and torrent sites and download portals have almost disappeared. In its annual report filed in February 2024, Netflix said, ``When Netflix first launched its service, it was a pirated service that required a certain amount of technical knowledge on the part of users and took a long time to download content. Netflix had an advantage over torrent sites in that the streaming format was more convenient.However, most pirated sites now support the streaming format, which has taken away Netflix's big advantage.'' .

Due to the large population and high Internet penetration rate in the United States, the traffic of pirated sites is high in each category. On the other hand, the United States ranks second at 6.28% for access to pirated movies, and India ranks first at 30.56%, an overwhelming percentage. According to MUSO, traffic in India rose explosively in the first half of 2023 and sharply decreased in the second half, but the cause is not clear.
Also, in the music category, Iran has a higher percentage than India and the United States at 11.8%. In addition, most of the software was accessed from Russia, with the United States and China coming in close behind.
