I&#x27;m unconvinced. Then the piracy rate would decrease for these shows as a result of better availability of HBO Go and other services, but I&#x27;m pretty sure they&#x27;re still Game of Thrones is still the most downloaded torrent. I&#x27;d be open to data showing otherwise though.<p>I think the simple answer is that people like free things, and torrenting is easy enough for a large amount of people to do it. Maybe if every show ever was available on Netflix for $9&#x2F;month, people wouldn&#x27;t torrent, but that&#x27;s a pretty absurd expectation.
