What are the most common ways music piracy occurs today?

Modern music piracy takes many forms, especially through digital platforms. Peer-to-peer file sharing, torrent websites, and illegal MP3 download platforms are still prevalent. However, newer methods include stream-ripping tools, which convert music videos or streams into downloadable audio files. Another emerging method is using unauthorized third-party apps that offer free access to paid streaming services. Social media and messaging platforms also facilitate illegal sharing of music files. These methods exploit loopholes in technology and content delivery, making it crucial for copyright holders to deploy advanced anti-piracy monitoring tools like those offered by Aiplex.
