The rise of the internet and digital technology has led to an increase in music piracy. Music piracy refers to the unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of copyrighted music. The ease of access to music and the ability to share files have made it simple for people to download copyrighted music without paying for it. According to a report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), music piracy has been on the rise, with estimated losses of $29.2 billion in 2020.
