LCC Final Report – Piracy Trends Worsen Despite EC Recommendation

The Live Content Coalition, of which SROC is a member, has published the latest and final report undertaken by Grant Thornton, which analyses the impact of the European Commission’s 2023 Recommendation on combatting online piracy of sports and other live events. The report finds that “there were no marginal improvements in KPIs throughout 2024 and the first half of 2025, highlighting the limited effectiveness of the Recommendation in addressing a significant piracy issue, where mitigation efforts continue to have limited impact”. Of the 26.2 million notices issued during the assessment period, 89% did not result in suspension of unauthorised transmissions.
