No laughing matter: Synamedia finds comedy is the most pirated genre

Thursday, February 2, 2023

LONDON, Feb. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading video software provider Synamedia today unveiled research analysing the impact of sports and entertainment piracy across seven countries and the potential revenues that would result from converting pirate viewers to legal subscribers. The study, conducted by Ampere Analysis, finds the value of entertainment piracy is three times bigger than sports piracy and that the fragmentation of rights across more services is now affecting piracy in the entertainment market as it has for sports.

Key Points: 
  • The research reveals that comedy is the most pirated genre of entertainment, driven by titles including Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ted Lasso, with half of all pirate viewers streaming comedy illegally.
  • This is followed by the action and adventure genre, and the crime and thriller category respectively.
  • This would generate $5.9bn in annual income for US streaming providers, with the 28 most heavily pirated movies and TV titles alone contributing up to $1.8bn in new revenues.
  • Synamedia and Ampere Research will host a fireside chat 'No laughing matter: pirates enjoy comedy' to discuss the findings in more depth on February 23rd at  11 am ET.
