law of supply and demand
demand increases as price goes down
so a lot of people who would have simply chose to not use the services at all would be mistakenly counted as buyers of the good.
IF the torrents didn't exist i would never have watched my own worst enemy.
I didn't start watching it until two different friends recommended it to me ( one because i mentioned i was looking forward to 24 and another when i mentioned burn notice)
the show was over the season was done, only the last two episodes were available for streaming on globaltv.com
if i hadn't downloaded the first episode and watched i would have never become a fan.
comming to the conclusion that i would have bought the dvd boxed set when it comes out 6 months from now is insanely stupid arguement.
