      I've been re-watching Twin Peaks lately. And I thoroughly enjoyed binge watching the Netflix original show Lillyhammer, where Steven Van Zandt goes NY mobster on rural Norway. Good times.

          I'm a huge fan of the new Netflix shows. The remake of House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Netflix is really doing a great job finding great shows. Even Peaky Blinders isn't all that bad. I also like shows in the vein of Burn Notice or more serious spy thrillers. Although those are few and far between lately.

            Netflix does appear to be doing an excellent job.

                  lol. That's good. If I would have to choose, I guess a Vampire would be next on my checklist, then maybe a ghost. I'm not a fan of werewolves.

                                      And that's illegal for copyrighted content. It makes those that pay, pay more due to loss of sales. Volume of sales decreases the price.

                                        No, it's the opposite. Pirating reduces demand for paid content and lower demand lowers prices and reduces profits for the content providers. Look how the cost of CDs has plummeted since Napster was invented. Pirating largely influences the profits going into fat executives, not the price you and I pay. Think of BitTorrent as a competitor to Amazon and Napster - competition lowers prices, it doesn't increase them.

                                        In economics terms, it's simple supply and demand.

                                          That might be something Pirate's say to justify their actions. But, prices of Video and Film is not based on demand in anyway. We have meetings at the begging of productions, to say what all are needs are. a Budget is then made, and from that budget a price to charge is set. lower demand will not lower the price. It will cause it to stop being producer and no further licenses are released. In the case of a theater run, the run will be cut very short and the cryptokeys for the harddrives the theater's are using will be disabled as they have to use a webside to enable the harddrive for each and every showing.

                                          Demand doesn't affect price, budget does. When a budget is met the price will generally be lowered. Now Amazon, Walmart etc might lower the prices of their renaming physical copies or license, once discounted if their reseller agreement allows. But in the video world things are cancelled with low demand.

                                            While I agree with this, it doesn't change the fact that torrenting, to download copyrighted media, is illegal in most nations. Copyrighting is not a free market/supply and demand idea. Instead it creates a limited monopoly for the terms of the copyright, or patent. Originally it was to protect and encourage innovation... not really sure that it still does that though.
