WhitePaper

White Paper

  1. Executive Summary

Digital piracy in the United States has worsened significantly over the past three years, impacting businesses, creators, and the economy at large.

This whitepaper presents data from 2021 to 2024, highlighting piracy’s economic damage, legal ramifications, and the urgency for stronger enforcement measures.
