Illegal filesharing sites, also known as P2P [peer-to-peer] sites, respond to internet users' need [NEEDS] in the market place, a space that so far legal entities have refused to fill, according to Jared Moya, chief editor of technology portal Zeropaid.
"The truth about online piracy is that it is simply filling the gaps in the marketplace that copyright holders refuse to fill," he said.
The expert highlighted the lack of a serious, legal company that provides a similar service to the one P2P sites give. He also said the legal copyright holders don't even think of it as a choice to give consumers.
His comments emerged as a survey by Envisional reveales [REVEALS] 23.8 per cent of the planet's online traffic was formed by copyrighted work transmitted and shared illegally, most of it consisting of video material, as reported by the Washington Post earlier this month.
Experts have said that the US is an example of how the availability of legal material has diminished the need to share files illegally.
