      I think it’d be completely unrealistic to think that there are no lost sales…whether or not the amount they’re losing is actually meaningful would be a better question…

        I definitely understand this take but there are a lot of things that I would have never watched if I hadn’t torrented it. Many things I do want to see more of I pay for of course but a lot of it I would just never have viewed or listened to in the first place.

          It’s definitely somewhere in the middle. I agree there’s definitely a good number of cases where the person downloading also wouldn’t have considered it otherwise.
