D2.7 Report on effect of digitisation and regulatory changes on access to cultural/creative goods and services

This Report describes the results of the research carried out in the context of WP2 and documents the acquisition and consumption of music, films, series, books and games through the various legal and illegal channels that exist nowadays in seven European countries (France, Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom). The purpose is threefold:

1. To provide factual information about the state of authorised and unauthorised acquisition and consumption of these content types.
2. To investigate the consumer's characteristics of different access channels.
3. To assess how the pandemic emergency has changed the acquisition and consumption through unauthorised channels.

This report's analysis uses data collected through a consumer survey administered by a specialised company. The dataset includes nearly 12,901 respondents, including over 3,511 minors, in seven European countries.
