It has existed since the days of silent movie, but grew more in the 1980s when analog camcorders became commonplace. It grew even further in the 2000s due to digital tapeless camcorders being silent and the internet being in the majority of households on the planet Earth. It grew even further in the 2010s with the availability of high-quality bootlegs on pirate websites.
This act causes financial issues, which studios may lose money. In some cases, some studios may get even get bankrupt.
