The Dutch firm Ecory was commissioned to research the impact of piracy for several months, eventually submitting a 304-page report
to the EU in May 2015. The report concluded that: “In general, the
results do not show robust statistical evidence of displacement of sales
by online copyright infringements. That does not necessarily mean that
piracy has no effect but only that the statistical analysis does not
prove with sufficient reliability that there is an effect.”
The report found that illegal downloads and streams can actually
boost legal sales of games, according to the report. The only negative
link the report found was with major blockbuster films: “The results
show a displacement rate of 40 per cent which means that for every ten
recent top films watched illegally, four fewer films are consumed
legally.”
The study has only come to light now because Julia Reda, a Member of
the European Parliament representing the German Pirate Party, posted the
report on her personal blog after she got ahold of a copy through an EU Freedom of Information access to document request.
The European Digital Rights organisation suggested in a blog post that the full contents of this report were intentionally suppressed, pointing to a 2016 academic paper
by two Commission officials. The paper, “Movie Piracy and Displaced
Sales in Europe”, only mentioned the part of the Ecory report that
highlights the relationship between piracy and blockbuster film lost
sales, and excluded the other findings of the report. Additionally, the
paper didn’t even disclose that the cited information came from Ecory’s
study.
