Summary
Online video piracy is still a minority behavior. Just 7% of US online adults regularly engage in peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, and less than half of them use it for video files.

The battle between content owners and pirates is now on, as they both have an interest in making access to their content as simple as possible.
