HADOPI has drawn up a catalogue of indexed offers that do not infringe intellectual property rights. It reports this on the www.offrelegale.fr portal. This is a tool available to users to search for platforms based on their access (streaming/download) or consumption (pay-per-view/subscription) preferences. As of 30 September 2017, HADOPI has 427 cultural sites and services indexed on www.offrelegale.fr.

This column chart from the Reuters Institute shows the average monthly Facebook interactions for several prominent French news sites and some of the most popular false French news sites, in million minutes. Notably, although the prominent news sites outperformed the false ones in reach and monthly time spent on their pages, their Facebook interactions lag behind some of the interactions achieved by the false news sites.

The graph shows that all of the false news sites in the French sample have a comparatively small reach. On average, most reached just 1% or fewer of the French online population each month in 2017. The most popular, Santé+ Magazine—an outlet that has been shown by Les Décodeurs to publish demonstrably false health information—reached 3.1% (this equates to around 1.5 million people). This was more than double that of well-known Russian outlets like Russia Today (1.5%) and Sputnik News (1.4%), which despite their international prominence, are used only by a small minority.

Cumulative data of total time spent with the false news outlet (per month) remains below the time spent with news. Even if people spent just under 50 million minutes per month with Le Huffington Post, this still exceeds the total time spent with all 20 false news sites from the sample.

This chart illustrates the unequal contributions of accounts to a piracy website studied by HADOPI (Haute Autorité Française pour la Diffusion des Oeuvres et la Protection des droits sur Internet). Only 14 contributors accounted for 90% of the content uploaded, showing that much of the illegal activity on the site was concentrated in a specific group of users.

The chart shows the prevalence of copyright infringement through peer to peer filesharing and other platforms before and after establishment of Haute Autorité Française pour la Diffusion des Oeuvres et la Protection des Droits sur Internet (HADOPI). Although peer to peer file sharing decreased by 15%, overall copyright infringement increased by 3%.

This graph shows how the number of professional monitoring cases has changed between 2013 and 2017, based on data from HADOPI (Haute Autorité Française pour la Diffusion des Oeuvres et la Protection des Droits sur Internet). The number of cases has increased consistently between 2013 and 2017.

According to the chart, 90% of French investors believe the legal environment has the most negative impact on their investing activities with a significant majority of 87% concerned about investing in digital content intermediaries that are today confronted by ambiguity and uncertain outcomes, potentially large damages, and the risks of secondary liability if new anti-piracy regulations are introduced.

The chart shows the number of first notices sent by Haute Autorité Française pour la Diffusion des Oeuvres et la Protection des Droits sur Internet since 2010 until 2017 to the holder of an Internet subscription whose access has been used to commit acts of copyright infringement.

This column chart shows the cumulative number of second notices sent by Haute Autorité Française pour la Diffusion des Oeuvres et la Protection des droits sur Internet (HADOPI) from 2010 to 2017. HADOPI sent the most notices between July 2011 and June 2012 and between July 2013 and June 2014. The second notice refers to a graduated two-step response implemented by HADOPI to remind internet subscribers of their responsibility regarding their Internet connection which should not be used to make works protected by copyright (or related rights) available for piracy.
