Australia

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Digital piracy is the act of illegally copying or distributing copyrighted material, such as music, TV shows or movies, via the internet.

Associate Professor at the RMIT University School of Media and Communication Ramon Lobato said piracy levels were related to a number of different factors, including disposable income, willingness to pay, users' digital skills, and the availability and convenience of both legal and pirate services.

It is important to note data on piracy cannot be drawn as entirely conclusive as it relies on self-reporting and information availability is limited due to its criminal nature.

Dr Lobato said delayed releasing of movies and TV shows has historically been a driver of piracy in Australia, but the studios and distributors have worked hard to reduce this in recent years.

The Attorney-General 2022 Consumer Survey on Online Copyright Infringement, which has the latest official Australian data, showed an increase in piracy across the music, movies, TV programs, video games and live sport compared to the year prior.

The most popular form of unlawful consumption was paying a small fee to access one or many subscription services through a shared or unknown account with 16 per cent of respondents using this method.
