As the fundamentals of the live media rights model come under fire, sport faces an existential threat, and an urgent question: act now or face a radically reworked and diminished future<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n<p>With sports broadcast distribution shifting inexorably towards streaming platforms, it has never been easier to pirate live content. The pandemic saw increases of up to 50% in the consumption of illicit live streams.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/info.leadersinsport.com\/l\/856843\/2021-08-17\/p8q53\"><button>Download Report<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Awareness of the scale of the problem is low; so too is strategic prioritisation of action against it at many sports content entities across the world. The pirates have taken advantage, building out a sophisticated criminal ecosystem and launching IPTV platforms with tens of thousands of channels, no restrictions, and minimal costs. The legitimate operators cannot compete. And make no mistake, this is a building problem that has the potential to decimate the commercial framework that modern sports businesses are built on.<\/p>\n<p>This Leaders Special Report evaluates the scale of the problem, providing answers to some fundamental questions: What is happening? Why is it happening? How is it happening? And what happens next?<\/p>\n<p>This report has been produced by Leaders with the support of Synamedia.
