‘Game of Thrones’ Most-Pirated TV Show

The HBO series “Game of Thrones” is by far the most pirated TV show this season, with nearly 4 million downloads per episode.

“How I Met Your Mother” was the No. 2 most-pirated show with more than 2.8 million downloads per episode, while “The Big Bang Theory” was No. 3 with 2.7 million. “House,” “Mad Men,” “Modern Family,” “Revenge,” “Desperate Housewives,” “Family Guy” and “Supernatural” rounded out the top ten.

Wait if they could somehow measure how many "pirated" downloads there are, why can't they track the pirates themselves and "punish" them? LOL

They do.

Not anymore really. Judges have, correctly, ruled recently that you can't identify a person by an IP address, which makes it much more difficult to pursue legal action by copyright holders. Several lawsuits were dismissed because of this ruling. In fact, they have said that IP addresses sometimes can't even pinpoint a state (also correct). 15 mass-BT lawsuits were recently dismissed for that very reason.

I have no doubt that the copyright holders are going to find another way to sue (it's what they do), but the courts are finally getting it right as far as identification is concerned. But more than that, I have no sympathy for companies that refuse to adapt to a changing media landscape. More than one article has been posted here about HBO and their aging distribution model. If they choose to live and die by a model that's decades old, that's on them.

I believe you are misrepresenting the rulings a bit. It is my understanding the rulings were based on "John Doe" mass filings. Judges in some districts are ruling that the right holders must separate complaints for each "Doe" and that they have to provide more stringent information to obtain a warrant to elicit the IP to name association from a provider.

In the 2nd part about states, is very specific in that the filings in the mass suits cross multiple state lines which puts them out of the jurisdiction of a particular court. So, again forced separation.

I'm in no way a lawyer. However, I do follow IP/copywrite/patent cases fairly closely. It's also possible that I have my facts messed up as well. Or, we could be referring to completely different cases. Just keep in mind that there is no one size fits all judicial answer to this problem yet.

I would also suggest you use your BS filter when numbers like those download numbers are released. I think you can assume some generalized consensus of which shows are most downloaded. I doubt very seriously that the numbers in question are within +- %100 of the actual number across all download sources.

my 2 cents

That's one issue. The other issue is that even if you knew that this particular IP address was used by Bill Smith's modem/router, there is no way of knowing if Bill Smith actually downloaded the show. It could have been Bill, it could have been someone in Bill's household or perhaps someone piggybacked onto his WiFi and downloaded the show from next door.

I get totally peeved by that attitude. What do you expect companies to do? Sure there are technological innovations out there, but every company has every right to protect the property they spend money to create. You would do the exact same thing. If you built a house for a million dollars, you are going to do anything you can from having people break in and steal from it. Well TV networks spend upwards of a million dollars, typically a whole lot more, per episode of their shows, and they have every right to do anything legal to protect their product. You can throw this "new world or model" BS out there all you want, but the fact is, companies spend money to create product, and they have every right to sell it as they see fit whether it be the old fashioned commercial TV model or the newer premium channel model or pay per view, or individual media sales. But you have no right to steal it. Just because others do it, or it is easier now than it was 15 years ago, does not make it right.

Your analogy with the house is not really applicable here, people build/guy houses to live in, they don't build and/or buy them to have the whole world come and live with them. Video content is created with the sole purpose of having people wanting to watch it in order to sell ads and/or boost subscription revenues. If the content is compelling enough it stands to reason that people will find ways to watch that content by what ever means necessary if they feel that having to pay $50-$60 per month is too high a cost.

That said, I agree that HBO has every right to distribute their content how ever they see fit, but when the amount of people downloading a show starts to surpass those actually watching it when it's aired on TV it's time to get your head out of the sand and start dealing with reality - people will pay for the content, but they are not going to pay a poll tax of having to have a cable TV bill as well.

^^What he said. That's more of what I was referring to but you're right in that there is no one size fits all argument.
What do I expect companies to do? Live with smaller profit margins. Yeah. I know. That's unthinkable, but it needs to happen. The old model needs to die, and my guess is we're going to see a bit of turmoil in the next decade or so as things begin to shake up. $25 for a Blu-ray movie? No. Drop it to $15. $15-$20 for premium channels? No. Drop it to $5-$10 (or offer your content elsewhere without needing a Cable company). $6 for one HD movie?!?! Drop it to $3. Media companies keep overvaluing their products, and content providers keep overestimating how much consumers are willing to pay. Something is going to give eventually...or I think it will anyway. They need to learn that the way they value their content isn't the same as the way younger demographics do. They also need to learn that punishing paying customers is a great way to turn them off of acquiring content legally (like the new piracy warning on movies), or getting it at all.

As a PC gamer, this is a concept that's all too familiar. I've passed on games simply because of draconian DRM schemes (Spore), or waited until they implemented changes that removed limits before I made a purchase (BioShock). If you're going to punish me for purchasing your product, then I'm not going to purchase your product. It's that simple.

You use that million-dollar house argument. You know what? Before I buy a million-dollar house, I can walk inside, look around and see what it is I'm getting. I can know everything there is to know about that house before I move in. Can I buy a Blu-ray movie, watch it, decide I don't like it, and then return it? Nope. Can I do that with Mass Effect 3? Nope...it's directly linked to your account online (note that didn't stop me from purchasing it, though I bought it for $30, not $60). Can I sign up for HBO via DirecTV, check out Game of Thrones, and then decide it's not for me? Nope...they lock you in for a month.

I have no problem with IP owners protecting their property, but as a consumer, they're becoming increasingly annoying to those of us who like our content without restrictions at a reasonable price, so they're turning us against them.

If you think the price is to high, don't buy it. There is no other legal option.

Thanks to both of you for keeping this as a discussion!!! I think you will find that rulings like that are state by state. Some states have prosecuted while others have set the bar higher. Just like patent holders put a fake office in Texas and litigate their patent claims there and corporations that want bankruptcy protection file for bankruptcy in Massachusetts. The "law" in the various district and appellate courts around the US are very weird and even contradictory. There are also many, many kinds of laws ... copyright, patent, civil, criminal etc... each has extremely different rules between those courts as well.

The only reason I responded is that the OP said that the court had ruled "correctly". Well, correctly is a wildly moving target on these subjects. What I think you meant was that "you agreed with the ruling". Rulings of fact vs rulings of law is a very interesting thing. It's mind bending. As a programmer, I was following the Oracle vs Google case very closely. It's amazing how %100 wrong the media was when reporting on the rulings by the court. They missed the point of almost everything, including mixing up the difference between copyrights vs patents and fair use vs infringement. They used them all freely as interchangeable parts, when the case itself was making rulings for each of those individually. The criteria and laws pertaining to each of those 4 things was different for each.

Copyright law is a cesspool.

Along these same lines, Internet providers are getting increasingly annoyed at being used as content industry policeman. The largest ISP in the nation just said "no more".

MONDAY's fast affiliate overnight prime-time ratings -and what they mean- have been posted on Analyst Marc Berman's Media Insight's Blog

Update:

Nielsen Overnights (18-49)
Fox scores best summer Monday in four years
Averages a 2.7 in 18-49s, led by 'Hell's Kitchen'
By Toni Fitzgerald, Media Life Magazine - Jun. 12, 2012

Not facing competition from summer's top show, "America's Got Talent," Fox's Gordon Ramsay cooking shows saw gains last night over last week's premieres.

"Hell's Kitchen" averaged a 2.7 adults 18-49 rating at 8 p.m., according to Nielsen overnights, up 13 percent over last week's premiere.

It was the No. 1 show on the night, and combined with lead-out "MasterChef" to boost Fox to its best summer Monday night in four years, with an average 2.7 rating.

"MasterChef" drew a 2.6 at 9 p.m., also up 13 percent over the previous week.

The shows clearly benefited from the absence of "Talent," which averaged a 3.3 at 8 p.m. last week and boosted lead-out "American Ninja Warrior" to a 2.2.

Instead last night NBC carried the decisive game six of the Stanley Cup finals, which averaged a preliminary rating of 1.6, the lowest rating for an NHL game six in six years.

But among households the game drew a 4.0, up from a 3.9 last year. These ratings are highly unreliable, however, because time zone differences are not accounted for with overnight ratings, and the winning team, the Los Angeles Kings, has a West Coast fanbase.

ABC's "The Bachelorette" apparently benefited from the lighter competition too. It was up 5 percent over last week, to a 2.3, from 8 to 10 p.m.

Fox led the night among 18-49s with the aforementioned 2.7 average overnight rating and an 8 share. ABC was second at 1.9/5, NBC third at 1.6/5, CBS fourth at 1.4/4, Univision fifth at 1.2/3, Telemundo sixth at 0.5/1 and CW seventh at 0.2/1.

As a reminder, all ratings are based on live-plus-same-day DVR playback, which includes shows replayed before 3 a.m. the night before. Seven-day DVR data won't be available for several weeks. Forty-four percent of Nielsen households have DVRs.

Also, ratings for NBC's Stanley Cup coverage are approximate as fast nationals measure timeslot and not actual program data. They also don't account for time zone differences.

At 8 p.m. Fox was first with a 2.7 for "Kitchen," followed by ABC with a 2.1 for "Bachelorette." NBC was third with a 1.6 for hockey, CBS fourth with a 1.4 for repeats of "How I Met Your Mother" and "2 Broke Girls," Univision fifth with a 1.1 for "Un Refugio para el Amor," Telemundo sixth with a 0.5 for "Una Maid en Manhattan" and CW seventh with a 0.3 for a repeat of "Breaking Pointe."

Fox held onto the lead at 9 p.m. with a 2.6 for "MasterChef," with ABC a close second with a 2.5 for more "Bachelorette." NBC was third with a 1.6 for hockey, CBS fourth with a 1.5 for repeats of "Two and a Half Men" and "Mike & Molly," Univision fifth with a 1.2 for "Abismo de Pasion," Telemundo sixth with a 0.5 for "Corazon Valiente" and CW seventh with a 0.2 for a rerun of "The Catalina."

NBC moved to first at 10 p.m. with a 1.6 for hockey, while Univision took over second place with a 1.4 for "La Que No Podia Amar." CBS was third with a 1.2 for a "Hawaii Five-0" rerun, ABC fourth with a 1.1 for a repeat of "Castle" and Telemundo fifth with a 0.4 for "Relaciones Peligrosas."

ABC was first for the night among households with a 4.8 average overnight rating and an 8 share. CBS was second at 3.8/6, Fox third at 3.4/5, NBC fourth at 2.6/4, Univision fifth at 1.7/3, Telemundo sixth at 0.8/1 and CW seventh at 0.4/1.

I usually don't. But GoT is a great show, and HBO could probably cut into those numbers if they offered the show elsewhere. The only reason I even subscribed to HBO was for GoT, and luckily I also got a deal on 3 months.
You are 100% correct. Well, I agreed with it technically also.
And Verizon did something similar not too long ago as well (and won).

It does beg the question...do these lawsuits even make sense?

Sounds like they're aggregating it into their business model like high tech companies do with patent suits. Just another way to screw people so they can "enhance their profit."

TV/Legal Notes
CBS Derides ABC's Defense of 'Big Brother'-Like 'Glass House'
By Tim Molloy, TheWrap.com - Jun. 12, 2012

Continuing to press for a temporary restraining order to keep ABC's "Glass House" from premiering Monday, CBS said Tuesday that ABC's lawyers had failed to point out any substantive differences between "Glass House" and CBS's long-running "Big Brother."

CBS asked for the order last week, arguing that "Glass House" has not only stolen the concept of "Big Brother" -- 12 to 14 people live in a house where their moves are constantly monitored -- but also poached former staffers from "Big Brother" and stolen production techniques.

ABC offered a series of defenses in a filing late Monday, but in its response Tuesday, CBS said none of them addressed its chief argument: that ABC's show had committed copyright infringement and stolen trade secrets. CBS contends that ABC has defended its show by pointing only to "trivial rule changes" that differentiate it from "Big Brother."

A judge is expected to rule ahead of the planned Monday premiere date for "Glass House."

ABC said Monday in its opposition to the request for a restraining order that CBS's effort to keep its show off the air was "wholly unprecedented," and challenged CBS' suggestion that "Big Brother" was unique.

"To begin, there is no 'secret sauce' in 'Big Brother'"s production process," ABC's lawyers said. They said "Big Brother" uses "commonly known equipment, jobs, and ways of doing things in reality television production."

ABC acknowleged that its show wasn't particularly original, either: "[N]one of the alleged similarities shared by 'Big Brother' and 'The Glass House' involve copyright protectable elements -- they are all generic staples of the reality show genre: people living in a house, competing with each other to avoid elimination, and winning a prize," ABC attorneys wrote.

CBS' filing Tuesday jumped on that contention. Quoting the ABC language in the paragraph above, it said, "That is as useful as saying that Sherlock Holmes lacks copyrightable expression because it is just 'the idea of a detective and a sidekick, who live in London, and use disguises and forensic science to solve crimes.'"

CBS's attorneys said ABC had failed to point out a single show, aside from "Big Brother," that was similar to "Glass House."

TV/Business Notes
Analyst: Nickelodeon Might Be in Danger of Being Dropped by Some TV Distributors
By Eriq Gardner, The Hollywood Reporter - Jun. 12, 2012

Todd Juenger, analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, on Tuesday raised the specter of the "improbable" -- that cable and satellite services might drop Viacom network Nickelodeon. The analyst mentioned declining ratings, the availability of content online and a thirst by cable and satellite companies to cut costs as linchpins behind a possible action that would no doubt rock the TV industry.

Although still rather unlikely, the prospect of Viacom losing affiliate fees and advertising revenue from one of its flagship stations has been moved by Juenger from being "inconceivable" to being "improbable," which he notes is "a significant difference."

According to ratings reports, Nickelodeon's viewership is down almost 30 percent in the past several months.

Juenger says the overall kids audience universe is down but targets cannibalization from online streaming as a primary factor in a decline in Nick's ratings. He says that ratings are down 10 to 20 percent in Netflix homes, an estimation that comes from research released two months ago that compared 9,500 Netflix streamers and 9,500 nonstreamers from a sample of about 35,000 TiVo set-top users.

Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman has contradicted the notion that the availability of Nickelodeon content on Netflix caused a ratings erosion, saying he didn't think "the limited amount of Nick library content on Netflix … has had a significant impact" and blaming lost ratings on "some ratings systemic issues" at Nielsen.

But Juenger is unconvinced, saying that the problem could extend beyond Nick to Viacom's other networks including MTV. "We fear the long-term value of the flagship networks is in jeopardy," he writes.

Perception of streaming cannibalization could matter as much as the real-or-not truth. One of the comments given by Dish in its announcement that it would soon drop AMC was that customers could still see Mad Men, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad and other AMC shows through such outlets as Amazon, iTunes and Netflix.

In fact, Juenger offers an imaginary conversation of how a carriage-fee negotiation might proceed between Viacom and multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) such as cable and satellite companies:

• Viacom: "We're here to talk about the next six years of 8 percent price increases, plus 2 percent for TV Everywhere rights."
• MVPD: "Your ratings are down. 26 percent at Nick. And our subs can get your content on Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. We should be talking about how much less we should be paying you, not how much more."
• Viacom: "We're investing heavily to restore our audiences."
• MVPD: "Great, maybe the audience will come back. But we're not paying for it ahead of time."
• Viacom: "We need 8 percent (plus 2 percent). Take it or leave it." ("What are you going to do, drop us?")
• MVPD: At least threatens, with some credibility, to "leave it."

"If such a public flare-up actually materializes, we believe the stock will be penalized swiftly and meaningfully," says Juenger, pointing out that AMC's stock has lagged behind the S&P by 8 percent since Dish's announcement to drop the channel.

The analyst also cites the introduction of the commercial-skipping AutoHop as indication that MVPDs are getting more aggressive. He asks, "If Dish is willing to inject this much disruption and risk into its affiliate relationships in order to reset the balance on retrans, then why would it be hard to believe Dish or somebody else would be willing to take on Viacom in a public pricing war, perhaps even going dark for some period of time?"

Other analysts have offered more sympathetic explanations for Nick's ratings woes.

For example, Michael Nathanson at Nomura Equity Research on Monday gave three reasons for the viewership trends. First, he says that Nielsen's recently revised TV household demographic estimates are impacting viewing data by 1 or 2 percent. Second, improved children-specific programming on Netflix has caused viewing behavior on the margins to change. Finally, he writes, "While it might be hard to believe, significantly warmer weather this winter kept kids outside and away from the TV."

Most of the analysts still have "buy" ratings on Viacom. They argue that the Paramount Pictures division is doing well, the company has been executing an aggressive stock-buyback program, and even though ratings for Viacom networks are said to be down about 10 percent in total, that hasn't yet translated into much of a loss in advertising revenue.

Robin Roberts reveals she has MDS, a blood and bone marrow disorder; plans to stay on Good Morning America
By Meena Hart Duerson, New York Daily News - Jun. 12, 2012

“Good Morning America” anchor Robin Roberts broke some bad news to viewers on Monday, announcing she has been diagnosed with MDS or myelodsyplastic syndrome, a blood and bone marrow disorder formerly known as preleukemia.

"My doctors tell me I'm going to beat this -- and I know it's true," she wrote in an open letter posted online after she announced her diagnosis on the show.

In 2007, Roberts revealed she had breast cancer and underwent a successful surgery to treat it. Though she has been in remission since then, she revealed her new diagnosis is linked to her earlier health battle.

"Sometimes the treatment for cancer can cause other serious medical problems," she wrote.

Roberts said she was given her diagnosis on the same day she found out “Good Morning America” beat the “Today” show in the ratings for the first time in 16 years, a historic day for the anchor team.

"Talk about your highs and lows!" she wrote.

Last month she found out she would have the chance to interview President Obama about his stance on gay marriage while she was in the hospital having bone marrow extracted.

"The combination of landing the biggest interview of my career and having a drill in my back reminds me that God only gives us what we can handle," she said, "and that it helps to have a good sense of humor when we run smack into the absurdity of life."

Roberts said her "pre-treatment" chemotherapy starts Monday to prepare her for the bone marrow transplant she'll receive later this year from her sister, and used the opportunity to encourage others to register as bone marrow donors.

Her bosses at ABC expressed their support for Roberts.

"We love Robin, the heart and soul of ABC News, and we'll stand arm in arm with her as she fights this new battle," ABC News President Ben Sherwood said in an email circulated to the staff.

Though she'll have to step away from the set for "a chunk of time" when she ultimately has her transplant surgery, Roberts said her plan for the time being is to maintain "business as usual" at “Good Morning America” and stick to her daily schedule as much as possible.

"When I faced breast cancer, your prayers and good wishes sustained me, gave me such hope and played a major role in my recovery," she wrote. "In facing this new challenge, I ask humbly for more of your prayers and love – as I will keep you in my mine and update you regularly on my condition."

Portia de Rossi to Play Lily Munster in NBC's 'Munsters' Reboot
By Lesley Goldberg, The Hollywood Reporter's 'Live Feed' Blog - Jun. 12, 2012

NBC has found its Lily Munster in Portia de Rossi.

The former Better Off Ted and Arrested Development star has joined the network's drama pilot Mockingbird Lane as the matriarch of the Munster family, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

De Rossi, whose ABC comedy pilot The Smart One was passed over at the network in May, will play the vampire bride to Herman Munster (Jerry O'Connell) and the daughter of Eddie Izzard's Grandpa Munster.

Yvonne De Carlo played the role in the original 1960s CBS sitcom, opposite Fred Gwynne. The original Universal Studios-produced series aired for 70 episodes.

Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller is writing NBC's hyper-stylized reboot, with Bryan Singer on board to direct. De Rossi joins the previously cast O'Connell, Izzard and Mason Cook, who will play Lily and Herman's werewolf son, Eddie, in the pilot. Newcomer Charity Wakefield will play Marilyn, their "plain" cousin.

NBC initially eyed the reboot, from Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller, for this development season but pushed the project to summer.

Fuller and NBC first made an attempt to revive the sitcom last year, with the network ultimately passing. His newer version is said to be an edgier and slightly darker take, exploring origins of Herman and Lily and how they arrived at the famed 1313 Mockingbird Lane address.

De Rossi is repped by WME.

I wonder what those numbers would be if HBO

A) Sold HBOGO as a stand alone product

B) Sold current season episodes on Amazon and ITunes

C) Offered those episodes for less than the ridiculous $4 per episode they charge now.

I believe ratings average about 10 million viewers. And if you count 4 million pirating, then out of 14 million viewers 29% do not pay for the show in any way. Now of McDonald's had 29% of the people eating their food not paying for it I'm pretty sure they quickly figure out WHY that is and to do something about it. Mostly by LOWERING the cost of said food.

That casting choice I can see working. Her icy, tight-buttoned and detached character in Better Off Ted was occasionally monstrous. She's so skinny even her look is almost frightening sometimes.

Not much different. If you look at the shows in the list you'll see that the majority are easily accessed in the US in various formats, because the list represents a worldwide tally.

The majority of torrent use comes from overseas, who want to see the latest episodes of US product that are months and sometimes years behind US transmission in their country. In the case of product like Thrones it's also on a subscription channel in the UK unaffiliated with HBO. Sky Broadcasting control how the show is distributed there, not HBO. HBO could put Thrones on Netflix and Amazon and the show would still be pirated by the rest of the world.
