The Indonesian government has taken drastic action against illegal file-sharing sites in the country, and the campaign has had immediate and far-reaching effects on piracy.
according to website TorrentFreak, about 3,500 sites in the region were blocked. The action is part of a domestic policy in partnership with the Coalition Against Piracy (CAP), which operates in Asia. fight piracy and the involvement of studios (such as Disney, HBO, and NBCUniversal) and sports organizations (including the NBA and Premier League, which deal with the Premier League).
Data released by CAP claims that traffic for pirated content across Indonesia dropped by 75% after the action – adding to users’ digital safety as some of these pages were also infected with malware on machines.
Additionally, recent research shows that as access to illegal media is blocked, the local population will be willing to adopt legalized video platforms like traditional streaming services.
