According to a survey conducted in South Korea in 2023, around 18 percent of respondents stated that their consumption of pirated media increased because of the increasing amount of content that is available for free or very cheap. Other common reasons included being able to access various content on one single platform and access being easier or more convenient than official channels due to not having to register or verify one's identity.
