According to a new study published by the European Union Intellectual Property Office, 51% of 15 to 24-year-olds haven’t pirated any digital content during the past 12 months. While around a third admit to consuming content from illegal sources, the EU says it is rare for young people to rely exclusively on pirated material. Overall, 80% of the sample use licensed sources to access digital content.

The EU Intellectual Property Office has published its latest Intellectual Property and Youth Scoreboard Study.
Its stated aim is to better understand which drivers and barriers are the strongest among 15 to 24-year-olds when obtaining digital content online or purchasing physical goods, both legally and illegally.
In line with the previous study published in 2016, music remains the most popular content among young people. An impressive 97% stream or download music, 94% download or stream movies and series, with games following behind with 92%. Roughly eight out of ten access educational content (82%) with a similar number accessing other TV shows or sport (79%).
Of course, not all of these consumers access content legally. The study found that around a third use unlicensed sources but that’s down five percentage points on the findings from a similar study in 2016.
However, that 33% is split – 21% said they intentionally pirated while 12% said their illicit consumption was unintentional.
“Young people who use illegal sources intentionally to access digital content do so primarily to access films and series,” the study reveals.
“There has been a notable decrease in those using illegal sources to access music —whereas almost all young people download or stream music online, only 39% of those intentionally using illegal sources do so to access music — a decline of 17 percentage points since 2016.”
The motivations for deliberately using illegal sources aren’t new. More than half (56%) cite price as a factor (10 points down from 2016) but just under a third (30%) say they frequent illicit platforms due to content not being available legally or based on the perception that pirate sites offer a larger choice (26%). But at least some users of these platforms can be deterred.
“There are almost always reasons that would stop young people from using illegal sources to access digital content. Primarily these relate to having a more affordable offer (55%), followed by a risk of punishment (35 %), and a bad personal experience (29%),” the report adds.
The EU study also highlights that in respect of illegal content consumed intentionally, there is a “limited correlation” with more general consumption of digital products. While a majority of all respondents consume films, TV shows, sport, games, eBooks and similar content, intentional pirates tend to focus on streaming or downloading movies and series.
“More generally, it is rare for young people to rely exclusively on illegal sources — 80 % of the sample use legal sources to access digital content,” the report notes, adding that 51% have not “used, played, downloaded or streamed content from illegal sources in the last 12 months.”

Leading e-cigarette-maker Juul knowingly sold a large amount of contaminated mint-flavored e-liquid, endangering public health in the name of profits, according to a lawsuit brought by Siddharth Breja, the company’s former senior vice president of global finance.
Breja filed the lawsuit Tuesday, October 29 in the US District Court for the Northern District of California.
Breja began working at the company in May of 2018 but alleges he was abruptly fired in March of 2019 after voicing concern that the company refused to issue a recall over the contaminated products or warn customers about the potential risk. Breja is suing Juul for retaliation for whistleblowing, wrongful termination, and other violations.

The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) has acknowledged today that malware attributed by others to North Korean state actors had been found on the administrative network of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP). The admission comes a day after the company issued a denial that any attack would affect the plant's control systems.
In a press release today, NPCIL Associate Director A. K. Nema stated, "Identification of malware in NPCIL system is correct. The matter was conveyed by CERT-In [India's national computer emergency response team] when it was noticed by them on September 4, 2019."
That matches the date threat analyst Pukhraj Singh said he reported information on the breach to India's National Cyber Security Coordinator.

Wenn Kinder zu früh zu viel mit einem Smartphone oder Tablet spielen, kann das negative Folgen haben - davor warnt der Chef des Berufsverbands der Kinder- und Jugendärzte. Er empfiehlt ein Smartphone erst ab einem Alter von elf Jahren. (Medizin, Smartphone) “A look at what might have been—and what still might be.”
At the heart of all good science fiction lies one vast and deceptively simple question: what if? For All Mankind, the latest outing from writer and producer Ron D. Moore, explicitly takes that what if as its core premise and logline, asking: what if the space race never ended?
The show's first trailer showed us the motivation for continuing the race: what if, at the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union was first to put a man on the moon? What if Apollo 11, rather than a great leap for mankind, was a footnote in the history books? What would that mean, and what would happen next?
It feels intentional that Apple should launch its new streaming TV service with a show literally about launching, about refusing to accept second place as a loss, about the audacity of reaching for the literal stars. And it seems fitting that the company would have shared the first two episodes of that vision on the larger-than-life IMAX screen at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, surrounded by actual artifacts of crewed spaceflight on all sides.
