Abstract

This report details the main findings of the fifth wave of a large-scale consumer tracking study into the extent of online copyright infringement, as well as wider digital behaviours and attitudes, among people aged 12+ in the UK. The study was commissioned and financially supported by the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO). It is the fifth in a series of research waves intended to generate benchmarks and time series relevant to the access and use of copyright material online. It also outlines the background to the research and a detailed description of the methodology employed.
