Revenue decline

Piracy has an adverse economic impact on businesses. Low-quality content is sold at reduced prices, impacting legitimate sales and customer trust in the brand. This leads to revenue losses for rights holders, distributors and also strips away their market share. Moreover, piracy impacts the viability of businesses, particularly those operating in industries heavily impacted by illicit distribution.
