A new survey from Norway reveals that 50% of young people under 30 believe that pirating content is an acceptable way to save money. The survey, conducted by Ipsos, highlights that the high cost of streaming services is a key driver behind this attitude. Links between piracy and organized crime or malware, appear to be of less concern.

I understood your comment to mean "piracy is saving you $400 a week", so before piracy you spend $400 a week on media, which sounds like an insane amount.
