Online Piracy Costs the UK 9,400 Nurses a Year, If Pirates Keep Their Word
A new UK industry report says illegal streaming costs the government the equivalent of 9,400 NHS nurse salaries a year. This missed tax money is linked to a broader £1.35 billion annual hit to the economy. The billion-pound figure is extrapolated from what some pirates say they would pay if piracy disappeared. This hypothetical scenario comes with the necessary caveats, including a mismatch between what people say in surveys, and what they do.
