But only a small part of the actual number of items being pirated from other sites This obviously doesn't report viewership numbers.

A few things here: First, pay for your show. We do not condone piracy and think that if people put time and effort into creating something good for you, you should thank them for acquiring it legally. However, we recognize that piracy is a reality. of life today And it is something that many people People who do it regularly We also found a lot of interesting things about the show. For example, the genre is very specific. Not just this year But also for most years. It clearly represents a type of fan who pirates TV shows. People who love sci-fi, fantasy, superheroes, video games, etc.
Thinking about the show's origins is also interesting. TorrentFreak notes that in 2023, Netflix doesn't have any shows on its lineup, but this year it does. arcane– Because Netflix has a large market share of streamers. This idea may therefore reduce the risk of copyright infringement. But clearly this is not the case. Maybe it's because last year there weren't any shows that internet pirates were interested in. We dare to guess too. Squid Game Now it's back. Stranger things Its return and another year of 2025 will see Netflix be there more consistently.
This list also indicates services that people aren't paying for. Prime Video leads the pack with three items. You'd expect this to be what most people have. Just because it comes with other benefits like Prime shipping on Amazon HBO has two shows. And even though pirates certainly don't pay for cable, But maybe they'll pay for a slightly cheaper streaming service, Max. Of course, there's also Apple TV+ and Paramount+, both of which make more sense because they're smaller in comparison. It's a lot to digest.
