Most Prolific World Cup Pirates Also Most Likely to Use a Paid Service
news.movim.eu / TorrentFreak · Monday, 19 June - 12:03 · 3 minutes
The World Cup only takes place every four years so when the opportunity to see the world’s best players arrived again last year, an estimated 1.5 billion eventually tuned in to see the elite square off in the final.
Millions cheered on the French national team as the defending champions pursued glory against Argentina. After the French lost in a dramatic penalty shoot-out, for some it became a tournament to forget. For French telecoms regulator Arcom, the end of the competition signaled the start of research to determine how citizens consumed World Cup 2022 and how France benefited from it financially.
Published this week, Arcom’s study reveals that more than six out of 10 French people watched or listened to at least one live match during the World Cup, a figure that rose to 73% in respect of all content, including replays, match analysis, and behind-the-scenes reporting.
Of those who watched live matches, 90% did so from home, with television the medium of choice for 96% of respondents. Around one in five football fans watched at least one match on a smartphone, with 14% and 7% viewing on computers and tablets, respectively.
Football is traditionally seen as a sport of the people, with national teams serving their countries and citizens rather than their usual corporate paymasters. For these and similar reasons, some countries have laws or regulations in place that prevent the whole of the World Cup from being locked away behind TV subscription packages.
In France, all matches played by the national team must be broadcast on a widely accessible system, at no charge to the public. The same applies to the opening match, semi-finals, and the final, regardless of which teams are playing.
Free TV broadcaster TF1 won the rights to air these games in 2022 and, as a result, 87% of those who watched live World Cup matches did so on TF1, legally and for free.
Of the 64 matches played in the tournament, 36 matches were broadcast exclusively by beIN Sports. Since users of beIN must have a subscription, piracy of World Cup matches was effectively guaranteed when more than half the matches in the tournament were placed behind a paywall.
According to the study, 18% of live match consumers said they’d watched matches using a paid service. Of all live match consumers, 8% reported watching games using illegal platforms, with 5% using live sports streaming platforms or pirate IPTV applications, and 4% using social media, a figure roughly on par with illicit consumption during the rest of the year.
The conundrum for Arcom is that if it decided to crack down on the most prolific football pirates by demographic, it would also be cracking down on the fans most likely to spend money on legal content.
“The 15-34 age group, the leading group of illegal users (12%), are also the most inclined to use a pay option (26%),” Arcom reports.
Numerous studies have drawn similar conclusions over the years after finding links between the most engaged consumers and their consumption of content from both legal and illegal sources. A report from the EU last week found that 60% of pirates also buy content legally.
In the short term, the answer may lie in site-blocking measures. During the World Cup alone, France ordered the blocking of 83 domains in connection with football piracy.
Arcom hasn’t indicated if that had any effect on piracy levels but a small observation might be that if half the games weren’t behind a paywall, site blocking wouldn’t even be necessary. The flip side is that 15% of people who watched live matches took out paid subscriptions to do so and beIN Sports did very nicely out of that.
“Entirely dedicated to the 2022 World Cup, with daily coverage from 10 a.m. to midnight and all matches broadcast live, beIN Sports 1 benefited strongly from the competition from an advertising point of view. Total gross daily investment for the channel on match broadcast days amounted to around 16.1 million euros,” Arcom reports.

Certified Anti-Piracy Coach Helps Piracy Addicts Go Legal
news.movim.eu / TorrentFreak · Monday, 22 May - 06:42 · 4 minutes
The insidious nature of a developing addiction often takes people by surprise, regardless of the substance involved, but especially when it’s freely available, all over the internet.
While an occasional copy-and-paste is known to alleviate boredom, peer pressure at a vulnerable moment can lead to a whole file or even an entire folder being permanently copied to a USB stick.
Most people feel no ill effects but for thrill-seekers, the instant high is over in moments, triggering a vicious cycle of increasingly risky copying and diminishing returns.
A new campaign unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival aims to raise awareness of this addiction and how creators end up suffering the consequences.
Revealed during an anti-piracy roundtable at the Festival on Saturday, the campaign is the work of two French government agencies – CNC (National Centre for Cinema and the Moving Image) and ARCOM, the new anti-piracy/audiovisual regulator in France.
CNC CEO Olivier Henrard and ARCOM’s Denis Rapone unveiled the campaign with support from Charles Rivkin, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association.
“The ambition of this campaign, with a slightly offbeat tone, is to encourage more and more Internet users to change their habits in favor of practices that respect creation,” ARCOM notes.
“In 2022, 86% of French Internet users aged 15 and over have consumed at least one cultural good online, films, series, video games, music, etc.”
The campaign features a series of spots set to appear on television, cinema, radio and social networks, from June 15, 2023. They reveal the struggles of recovering piracy addicts as they transition from illegal to legal content with the help of Isabelle Champart, a certified anti-piracy coach/therapist.
It appears that with guidance from Isabelle, French piracy addicts will make a full recovery and have no further use for her skills. Here’s a sneak preview of six slots, with general translations from French under each.
TV and cinema spots

Isabelle “You see, there is life after piracy.”
Clementine: “I think about it all the time!” Isabelle: “The key is breathing.” Clementine: “I still want it.” Isabelle: “Ah yes?”
Isabelle: “That’s good.” Hector: “Yes, I’m holding on.” Isabelle: “Bravo!”
Hector: “I’m hanging in there.” Isabelle: “Yes, I understand”

Isabelle: “Want to put an end to piracy? I am Isabelle Champart, certified anti-piracy coach. My revolutionary method, you will hold all the cards and never need a coach again to stop pirating. Thank you to you who support creation by watching your films and TV series legally.”

Given the reaction (read: mockery) to traditional anti-piracy campaigns, it’s good to see a light-hearted approach executed with sophistication – not a bulldozer. Any campaign that begins with an air of superiority leading to blame, and then hammers that home to ensure everyone gets the message, ends up being part of the problem.
That certainly isn’t the case here.
While piracy itself doesn’t usually amount to an addiction, there’s no question that for some it’s a deeply ingrained habit. Even people who subscribe to legal services but still pirate on occasion report instinctively searching unlicensed resources first. It’s doubtful they need professional help but they may need a little more time.

De la pensée unique à la pensée officielle
ancapism.marevalo.net / Contrepoints · Monday, 27 February, 2023 - 04:30 · 4 minutes
Par la rédaction de la Nouvelle Lettre.
D epuis ces deux dernières semaines gros émoi, mais émoi justifié : il y a bien en vue la suppression de la liberté d’expression.
C’est ce qu’il faut retenir de la déclaration de madame la ministre de la culture Rima Abdul Malak dans une interview à France Inter (radio publique).
Elle s’étonne de la lenteur et de la pusillanimité d’un organisme appelé ARCOM qui aurait déjà dû sévir contre « les menaces que représentent les atteintes à la liberté d’expression et de création […] Il y a déjà eu une vingtaine d’interventions de l’ARCOM depuis 2019 pour C8 et CNews […]. De la sorte l’ARCOM devrait […] évaluer si la reconduction de cette fréquence est justifiée ou pas ». (à 10 mn)
Les chaînes Bolloré menacent la liberté d’expression. La ministre menace donc à son tour de les exclure de la télévision française. L’affaire est d’une portée hors du commun, parce que les chaînes Bolloré ce sont aussi toutes les chaînes Canal +, c’est Vivendi, c’est un groupe breton devenu au fil des ans une société de dimension mondiale entre les mains de Vincent Bolloré, estimé 14 e milliardaire du monde. La bataille est engagée : hier lundi CNews a réagi, d’abord au cours d’une interview d’ Éric Zemmour par Laurence Ferrari ensuite dans « L’Heure des pros » de Pascal Praud.
C’est l’arroseur arrosé : madame la ministre et France Inter ont été à juste titre accusés de diffuser la pensée unique, mais pire encore de refuser à ceux qui ne sont pas d’accord de s’exprimer en public : seule la pensée officielle sera désormais présente à la télé. Les journalistes incriminés n’ont eu aucune peine à illustrer la propagande permanente qui circule dans les chaînes de télévision et les radios publiques. Les journaux, les enquêtes, les publicités, portent l’idéologie qui n’est plus seulement de gauche, mais maintenant d’extrême gauche. Une place considérable est accordée aux réformes dites sociétales, destructrices de la famille, de la vie, de la tradition religieuse.
Rien d’étonnant : ces journalistes sont tous passés par la presse écrite de gauche, France Inter est dirigée par un ancien rédacteur en chef de Libération (après avoir fréquenté L’Observateur ). Certes presque tous les journalistes français ont été formés dans des écoles où ils ont été formatés à l’idéologie marxiste et socialiste . Mais on pourrait au moins admettre que les rares « dissidents » puissent s’exprimer librement dans les rares créneaux qu’ils peuvent occuper. C’est que désormais il s’agit de créer la société nouvelle libérée du capitalisme, de la mondialisation, de l’inégalité entre sexes, entre revenus, du pillage de la nature et du réchauffement climatique, bref : du progrès. Il n’y a désormais place que pour les « progressistes » et leur message est tellement évident qu’il ne supporte aucun débat, aucune critique.
Mais alors, dans ces conditions, que fait l’ARCOM ?
L’ARCOM a été créée en 2022, c’est l’Autorité de Régulation de la Communication Audiovisuelle et Numérique née de la fusion du Conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel ( CSA ) et de la HADOPI (Haute Autorité pour la Diffusion des Œuvres et la Protection des droits sur Internet).
On voit qu’il y a eu à cette occasion un recul : une Haute Autorité a été remplacée par une simple Autorité. On a surtout remplacé un CSA assez neutre et souvent courageux par un conglomérat de serviles administrateurs aux ordres du pouvoir. D’ailleurs qu’importe la composition de ces instances ? C’est le principe même du contrôle par l’État de l’information et de la communication qui est indigne d’un pays qui se croit libre.
D’ailleurs depuis 1939 il est évident que les radios, puis les télévisions, ont été sous la coupe des gouvernements successifs. Le pouvoir toujours jacobin s’est doté d’un monopole absolu avec l’ORTF, puis de radios et chaînes publiques bénéficiant de privilèges pour assurer leur influence : financement par les redevances de tous les possesseurs d‘appareils, couverture spécifique des grands évènements, libre accès des gouvernants. La tendance s’est d’ailleurs accentuée avec le président Macron , qui aime bien la « démocratie délibérative » : il peut délibérer avec le peuple à travers les grandes lunettes.
Sans aucun doute l’État français est doté d’un puissant instrument de dictature. Il produit des dégâts considérables non seulement sur l’information, la lucidité des citoyens, mais aussi sur la formation scolaire et morale de la jeunesse.
