To see past weeks lists the Most Pirated TV Shows click here.
Question – could a network use these numbers to their advantage when it comes to product placement? I know they don’t want to encourage illegal downloading, but of some of these series, a good chunk of their audience is doing it. Does it have any worth?
Downloaded on bit torrent whilst Hulu says
“”We’re sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed within the United States”"
Any possibility for Hulu to speed up the process? Waiting until the next morning or afternoon is probably a factor. Hulu is still very convenient and can be worth the 30 second breaks, in my opinion at least.
As for the International audience, good luck with that.
Prison Break is a top download? Odd considering it’s surounded by shows that still grab big ratings on TV.
Those shows are being pirated by people from foreign countries that want to see the shows eps ahead of time before they are aired on their tv.
Wow for such low numbers for original episodes im suprised smallville made this list
I just want to know. Why did you stop the Lipstick Jungle episodes? Why did you mess with a good thing? it is far better than the other shows that NBC has in place now. Well NBC, you have lost a viewer. Lipstick Jungle showed a refreshing sense of fellowhip between successful career minded women such as myself, and their everyday struggles with situations that actually happens in real life. It was often refreshing, to come home and enjoy the show that I so loved in it’s entirety from my DVR, after I have had a challenging week myself in the corporate world. Please reconsider bringing back the show. I am an Investor and I would possible like to find funding for the show; are you interested?

No offense, but maybe the reason is because nobody´s watching it?
If RRJ can’t even figure out this site has nothing to do with the show, I’m not sure he’d trust his fund raising abilities.
You have to know that smallville in the other countries is a very popular show, non like in US. I don’t know why.
“Those shows are being pirated by people from foreign countries that want to see the shows eps ahead of time before they are aired on their tv.”
Very true. I was in Argentina for work earlier this year, and all our contractors there pirated shows immediately. Otherwise they’d have to wait a year plus to see it, if it was shown on the local networks at all. And it’s not like Hulu helps since it is blocked outside the U.S.
