“Question: as download and streaming of films from non-legal source would be prohibited and penalties would be tied, would that affect your download or stream movies from these sources?”
From the questionnaire also shows that the largest part of the respondents does not agree with a downloadverbod. In total 53,8% against such a ban and 33.3 percent for. Main reason for illegally downloading or streaming of movies is according to the research among consumers that there does not have to be paid for. Two other important reasons would be that the relevant film is not yet available in the Netherlands and that the illegal downloading is seen as a convenient way for films to add to a collection.
The six-month measurement of the number of illegal downloads via p2p networks showed that the 25 followed movies in total, there were about 2.9 million unique illegal downloads. Not all 25 titles are, however, for the full six months, which made can be that the actual number of unique downloads from any illegal source even higher. The monitored international films, with a total of 1,66 million unique downloads more downloaded than the Dutch productions; these were slightly more than 600,000 times illegally obtained. MarkMonitor, the measurement is carried out, estimates that this number on an annual basis, around 5.1 million.
From the figures, Considerati the conclusion was drawn that in the Netherlands per year in total of at least 61 million movies illegally downloaded. Researchers have, however, taken into account with a ‘substitutieratio’. This means that per 10 downloaded movies 3,2 movies less through the legal routes to be viewed. Because the average retail price for a dvd on 9,31 € and that of a video-on-demand-stream 4,99 euro, the total loss for the Dutch film industry according to the consulting firm down on 78.439.290 euro per year. The total revenue obtained from the home viewing of movies was in 2013 256,6 million euro, while in 2009, 312 million.
