Warner Bros.: Loss of Revenue and Visibility Due to Piracy in Google Search

This analysis reveals how piracy in search results undermines Warner Bros.' ability to monetize its content at every release stage—from theatrical premieres and PVOD (Premium Video-On-Demand) to streaming availability on Max (formerly HBO Max). When pirated links dominate the top positions in Google Search, Warner Bros. loses traffic, potential subscribers, and revenue, as viewers are diverted away from legal platforms.

The report highlights how piracy visibility affects both new releases and catalog titles, reducing the impact of marketing efforts and fragmenting the audience across illegal sources.
