• BeStreamWise commissioned WPI Economics to put a number on illegal streaming.
• The report estimates that illegal streaming results in £1.35 billion in missed revenue by UK broadcasters every year.
• That figure is then translated into 10,400 lost jobs and £366 million in missing tax income.
• Social media is the top source to access pirated content, not just streaming, according to the report, which is backed by Sky, the Premier League, FACT, the BBC and the UK Intellectual Property Office.
