TV Series: Internet users have adopted streaming, pirate or free - L'Express

“Honey, you look at what DPstream tonight?” Scene of daily life become commonplace in French households. Movies, TV shows are consumed on demand, free, streaming, and often illegally, by more and more users.

new Hadopi barometer of consumer uses of online culture, directed by Opinion Way shows that TV shows are consumed mainly streaming on the internet. 46% of respondents (4740 respondents about their use of music, movies, series, books and video games for a week) to watch, against 18% who report download. Reported to all Internet users aged 15 and older, the study indicates that 17% of French Internet users are online shoppers TV episodes streamed , and 6.7% for download.

On average, the individuals surveyed consumed over a week 2.8 series episodes streaming and 2.9 for download. An amount slightly greater than the number of movies watched series.


Series are freely consumed more than 75%

free uses are predominant series to watch via internet. The episodes are more than 75% streamed or downloaded for free. Streaming, it does not necessarily mean that it is piracy. In fact, there are all the catch-up TV services, for example, the content is legal and free. The study specifies that illegal represents only 37% of the consumption series streaming . But still: the first site used by the sample sets to watch streaming is DPstream before replay channels and YouTube. DPstream a pirate site. And everything is on YouTube does not come from “legal” sources.

download, at least the question is not allowed. 71% of downloads are illegal as the barometer of Hadopi. The most acclaimed of this site are Uptobox, Cpasbien.com and torrent411.

most streamed series are Plus belle la vie before NCIS, Person of Interest, Dexter and CSI. Series that pass among other replay. For the most downloaded series, are The Walking Dead , to Dexter, NCIS, Game of Thrones, How I met your mother, and CSI. Not surprisingly, more series that go on pay TV.

download from foreign series is greater than 87%, against 72% in streaming

The challenge of legal offers

latest barometer once again emphasizes the importance of building an affordable and full legal offers easy access to the series. Canal + has recently announced the creation of a new channel, Canal + TV, which will be included in her bouquet at 39.90 euros per month. Too expensive to switch to the illicit use lawful. However, the initiative Dailymotion, which has signed agreements to exclusively broadcast the new series in France ( The Booth at the End Him & Her , Threesome) is totally in the current evolution of uses. Between premium and free ad-supported, lack a subscription offer around 10 euros per month as Netflix, which according to some analyzes has reduced piracy series as Arrested devleopment.

One thing eludes me in this article: What Dpstream would be illegal? Series and movies available on the site can be viewed only with a subscription to the hosting site (mixture, PureVID …).
