According to a report by Muso, a UK-based anti-piracy company, there were 66.38 billion visits to publishing piracy websites globally in 2024.

"2024 saw a 4.3% increase in publishing piracy, underscoring this is no longer an emerging trend—it is a dominant digital behaviour," Muso wrote in its 2024 Piracy Trends and Insights report.

Manga, or Japanese comics, were the most pirated published content, accounting for 70.15% of total visits to publishing piracy websites globally.

"Manga is a global cultural phenomenon as well as an unmet commercial signal of unmet audience demand," said Muso.

Visits to piracy websites categorized as general publications reached 14.82%, fiction 7.39%, books 5.10%, and audiobooks 1.55%.

Meanwhile, piracy of educational materials, magazines and newspapers, and musical notation accounted for less than 1%, as shown in the graph.

Muso also noted that the United States had the highest number of visits to publishing piracy websites, contributing 12.39% of the global total.

This was followed by Indonesia with a 10.37% share, Russia with 7.34%, Vietnam with 6.20%, and Japan with 4.36%.

"Publishing piracy spans mature digital economies and mobile-first regions alike," said Muso.
