A quarter of EU citizens aged between 15 and 24 admit to intentionally using illegal sources to access online content in the past 12 months.
Most say they do this because it is free, or cheaper than accessing content from legal sources, according to a new report from the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), which surveyed young people in each of the 28 EU Member States.
Films and series were the most accessed types of content from illegal sources, followed by music and games.
Nearly one in four believed that they were doing nothing wrong in accessing digital content from illegal sources for personal use, and a third considered that content from illegal sources was easier to find and quicker to access than content from legal sources.
