Grand Tour 'Most Illegally Downloaded TV Show In History' (theguardian.com)
Jeremy Clarkson's new motoring show has become the most illegally downloaded television programme in history, figures suggest. Amazon paid a reported $160 million for three series of The Grand Tour, which stars former Top Gear presenters Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, after Clarkson was sacked by the BBC in March 2015. From a report on The Guardian: But figures from Muso, data analysts of the piracy market, suggest unprecedented numbers of people are avoiding paying $90 a year to sign up for Amazon's online streaming service, Amazon Prime, and instead downloading the show illegally. The data, shared with the Mail on Sunday, suggests the first episode was downloaded illegally 7.9m times, the second 6.4m times and the third 4.6m times. British viewers made up the largest percentage (13.7%) of the total number of illegal downloads.
Morality has gone down the tubes.
People inviting friends over to watch television, and not compensating the content creators.
People using sling, and other illegal "time shifters" to avoid paying compensation.
People inviting other people to watch their streaming content, and not compensating the content creators.
People sharing their netfix passwords with other people, and depriving people of compensation.
People "archiving" and "ripping" CDs, instead of purchasing multiple copies, people are not getting compensated.
Look in the mirror to find out the reason the economy is down the tubes, dirty pirates.
What if you watch it at a friend's house.. does that count?
You really should be paying for even thinking about it.
It's not the same without Chris Evans.
