Half of young Norwegians find online piracy acceptable when streaming
services are too expensive, according to a new government survey released
this week. The Ipsos poll of 1,411 respondents found that 32% of all
Norwegians justify using pirate sites to save money, with acceptance rising
to 50% among those under 30. The rates increase further when specifically
asked about pirating due to high streaming costs. Despite concerns about
piracy, 61% of Norwegians paid for streaming services in the past year,
including 64% of those under 30. Among active pirates, 41% said they would
stop if legal services were more affordable, while 35% wanted broader content
per service. Only 47% of respondents believed piracy supports organized
crime, with 24% expressing uncertainty about this connection.
