非法流媒体加密支付激增，达到 2400 万美元

区块链分析公司 Chainaanalysis 表示，购买盗版在线流媒体内容的加密资产使用量激增。 Nordic Content Protection (NCP) 是一家致力于打击电视盗版的非营利组织，它与 Chainaanalysis 合作追踪与非法流媒体活动相关的加密地址。从 2019 年到 2023 年，这些地址总共收到了大约 2400 万美元，从 2022 年初开始出现了显着增长。 NCP 的安全经理 Michael Lund 强调，跟踪的地址仅代表问题的一小部分。他估计数亿人使用非法流媒体服务，导致法律服务收入损失数十亿美元。

Cryptocurrency Payments Surge for Online Pirated Streaming Content

在线盗版流媒体内容的加密货币支付激增

Copenhagen, Denmark - A recent study conducted by blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis, in collaboration with Nordic Content Protection (NCP), an anti-piracy non-profit, has revealed a significant increase in the use of cryptocurrency assets for illicit online streaming.

丹麦哥本哈根 - 区块链分析公司 Chainaanalysis 与反盗版非营利组织 Nordic Content Protection (NCP) 合作最近进行的一项研究表明，使用加密货币资产进行非法在线流媒体的情况显着增加。

Between 2019 and 2023, the total inflows to crypto addresses linked to pirated streaming activities amounted to approximately $24 million. This figure has witnessed a notable upswing since early 2022, continuing unabated into 2023.

2019 年至 2023 年间，与盗版流媒体活动相关的加密地址的总流入额约为 2400 万美元。自 2022 年初以来，这一数字显着上升，并持续到 2023 年。

Michael Lund, NCP's security manager, emphasized that the tracked addresses do not fully encompass the extent of the problem. "Television piracy poses a global challenge and poses a considerable threat in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas," Lund said. "We estimate that hundreds of millions of users access illicit streaming services, resulting in billions of dollars in lost revenue for legitimate providers. This, in turn, negatively impacts tax revenue, employment opportunities, and the quality of content available."

NCP 安全经理 Michael Lund 强调，跟踪的地址并未完全涵盖问题的严重程度。 “电视盗版构成了全球性挑战，并对欧洲、中东、亚洲和美洲构成了相当大的威胁，”隆德说。 “我们估计，数亿用户访问非法流媒体服务，导致合法提供商损失数十亿美元的收入。这反过来又会对税收、就业机会和可用内容的质量产生负面影响。”

Chainalysis had previously reported that illicit crypto transaction volume experienced a decline in 2023 for the first time since 2020. In 2023, illicit addresses received approximately $24.2 billion worth of cryptocurrency, a significant decrease compared to the $39.6 billion received in 2022. However, in 2020, illicit wallets had received only $9.4 billion worth of crypto. This figure surged to $23.2 billion in 2021.

Chainaanalysis此前曾报告称，非法加密货币交易量在2023年经历了自2020年以来的首次下降。2023年，非法地址收到了价值约242亿美元的加密货币，与2022年收到的396亿美元相比大幅下降。然而，2020年，非法钱包仅收到价值 94 亿美元的加密货币。 2021 年这一数字飙升至 232 亿美元。

Chainalysis cautions that the actual volume of illicit crypto transactions in 2023 may be higher, as their analysis only considered known illicit addresses.

Chainaanalysis 警告称，2023 年非法加密货币交易的实际数量可能会更高，因为他们的分析仅考虑了已知的非法地址。

The rise in cryptocurrency payments for pirated online streaming poses concerns for the entertainment industry, content creators, and consumers alike. Copyright infringement not only undermines the profitability of legitimate streaming services but also deprives creators of their rightful compensation. Additionally, the illicit use of cryptocurrencies can facilitate anonymous and untraceable transactions, making it difficult to identify and prosecute those involved in piracy.

盗版在线流媒体加密货币支付的增加引起了娱乐行业、内容创作者和消费者等的担忧。侵犯版权不仅损害了合法流媒体服务的盈利能力，还剥夺了创作者应有的赔偿。此外，非法使用加密货币可能会促进匿名和无法追踪的交易，从而难以识别和起诉参与盗版的人。

As a result, law enforcement agencies and anti-piracy organizations are increasingly focusing on combating the use of cryptocurrencies for illicit activities. By monitoring blockchain transactions, identifying key players, and collaborating with cryptocurrency exchanges, authorities aim to disrupt the flow of funds supporting piracy and protect intellectual property rights.

因此，执法机构和反盗版组织越来越关注打击使用加密货币进行非法活动。通过监控区块链交易、识别关键参与者以及与加密货币交易所合作，当局旨在扰乱支持盗版的资金流动并保护知识产权。
