Re: But wait
That argument doesn't hold water. US was second highest and nearly equal to highest.
"18% of downloaders were from Australia, while 14.5% were from the United States and 9.3% were from the UK."

Riverside, CA | If 14.5% were from USA, that means 85.5% were from other countries. Doesn't matter who the US was close to or equal to. My point is, 85.5% do not have legal access for weeks or months. |

If you consider the number of people that live in both countries the US 14.5% is a drop in the bucket compared to Australia and the UK. |

That is not true and a very incorrect assumption that only US has timely legal access. Europe for example has NetFlicks access very soon after airing. I know because someone showed me how they use a proxy to access as though they are in Europe. So that 14.5% is now up to 23.7%. Nearly 1 in 4 with timely legal access just from those two alone. Probably a stretch to assume that all of the remainder do not.
The argument still does not hold water.
