**Infographic of Internet Piracy Statistics**
Acquiring
files is easy enough if you know where to look. According to a study
researched by GO-GLOBE.com Web Technologies over 70% of online users
believe that there is nothing wrong with internet piracy (Section I).
Many interesting statistics show up in this well-designed infographic,
such as 22% of all global internet bandwidth is used for internet piracy
(Section I). Feel free to check out the interesting statistics for yourself.
The question I ask is why copyright infringement and
internet piracy were at the forefront of international politics as of
this time last year. The reason, in my opinion, is that many governments
were afraid of the monetary consequences that piracy bestows on a
country. It is estimated that a total of $12.5 billion is lost every
year due to internet piracy. If the internet had been left to be
completely fluid and organic without any repercussions, would we be
seeing the same internet today? I don’t believe so.
