Another way of interpreting this: 'the shows that are in the greatest demand are the ones for which the distributors feel pressured to offer the best service and availability'.
- npizzolato 11y agoI'm unconvinced. Then the piracy rate would decrease for these shows as a result of better availability of HBO Go and other services, but I'm pretty sure they're still Game of Thrones is still the most downloaded torrent. I'd be open to data showing otherwise though. I think the simple answer is that people like free things, and torrenting is easy enough for a large amount of people to do it. Maybe if every show ever was available on Netflix for $9/month, people wouldn't torrent, but that's a pretty absurd expectation.
