Title: Economic consequences of movie piracy - Canada

Summary: A joint study undertaken by Ipsos and Oxford Economics, on behalf of the Canadian Motion Picture Distributors Association (CMPDA), measures the scale of harm caused by movie piracy on Canadian jobs and the economy. The study defines and measures movie piracy as anyone viewing a full-length movie via ‘unauthorized’ means, including: digital (downloading, streaming, digital transfer of pirated copies), physical (buying counterfeit/copied DVDs), and secondary (borrowing or viewing pirated copies). The study measures the impact of movie piracy in two steps: 1/ the direct consumer spending loss to the movie industry and retailers from movie piracy, based on a nationally representative telephone survey of 3,325 adults aged 18 and over, conducted from June to September 2010 and 2/ the “ripple effects” of the consumer spending loss to determine the total economic losses from movie piracy across the entire Canadian economy. Note: The results offer a conservative view of piracy, and do not treat every pirate view as a lost sale. As such, the results should be treated as indicators that piracy is at the very least causing this level of harm.
