Based on what data?

University of Amsterdam Institute for Information Law, indirectly sourced from here: https://dataprot.net/statistics/piracy-statistics/

I guess we'll just have to take their word for it since they don't actually link to anything or provide the data. In fact, that whole statement doesn't even appear to be attributed to the University of Amsterdam. It appears the preceding statement about 25-34 year olds pirating is what's attributed to the university.
