Dr Brett Danaher.
Dr Brett Danaher, a visiting research professor of economics at Carnegie Mellon University, was in Sydney Tuesday night, presenting new research on the impact of court-ordered blocking of pirate sites at an event hosted by the Australian Screen Association (Asa).
Danaher has three criteria by which to evaluate the effectiveness of site blocking — whether it decreases visits to the blocked sites, whether it decreases total piracy, and whether it increases legal consumption..
.Measuring the causal effect of piracy website blocking is difficult", he said. "We studied three waves of court-ordered ISP site blocking in the UK using a dataset on actual Internet user behaviour,. said Dr Danaher.
Danaher's research has found that while blocking just one major piracy site does not reduce piracy or increase legal sales, simultaneously blocking a number of popular piracy sites caused a meaningful decrease in total piracy and a significant increase in legal consumption of video content.
