While digital piracy costs the global economy an average of a hundred billion euros every year, the practice persists in France despite the various sanctions adopted by ARCOM. Indeed, in 2019, nearly 12 million people will have consumed a program illegally, for a total of 50 million Internet users in France.
The impact of streaming platforms on piracy
Although the arrival of streaming platforms in recent years has somewhat reduced the number of illegal downloads, the practice unfortunately continues to be rife. While this new mode of paid streaming consumption has become the norm, the multiplication of platforms can drastically increase the leisure budget, tempting some consumers to turn to piracy and illegal downloading.
Spliiit: an alternative to piracy and high costs
Against this backdrop, Spliiit, Europe's leading co-subscriber, is the ideal solution for avoiding illegal downloading.
In fact, the start-up is offering to share the cost of subscriptions to over 150 platforms (SVOD, Music, Video Games, Press, Sport, Storage...). The concept is simple: users who have subscribed to a particular platform can offer their remaining seats on Spliiit, and thus find co-subscribers and share the cost. And the future user will be able to subscribe to a desired service, offered by account owners, and all at a lower cost.
Concrete savings and a well-considered choice
With this solution, Spliiit saves an average of €200 per year per user.
"Our aim in creating Spliiit was to democratize and simplify subscription sharing. We started from the observation that, on the one hand, 90% of French people were sharing their accounts and logins, without any real control, and on the other, that illegal downloading and streaming were rampant in France. In fact, according to one of our studies carried out last April among our community of users, without Spliiit, 29% of them would have resorted to illegal means to access content. We are firmly convinced that by sharing subscriptions and costs, the French are making more reasoned choices about their digital consumption."
