Breaking Bad Breaks Piracy Records > AMC most likely has done the math

AMC most likely has done the math

They make profit by providing their channel with this (and other shows) to cable companies. They are paid for each subscriber. They possibly also receive profit from advertisers (I imagine cable companies may dip into advertising revenue as well).

If AMC provides a quick and easy legal way to watch their shows outside of cable subscription (which they already do via, say, Amazon) to too many people cable companies will say: "Hey, now nobody will have a reason to subscribe to cable TV, you are now competing with us directly - we will no longer carry AMC". Then AMC loses all cable subscriber revenue, which is at this time is probably the largest part of their income. I think the only reason cable companies don't say this now is because the number of people consuming show via Amazon/Apple pay per view is not that large at this time.

I don't care about this whole well beaten dead horse subject

Because Netflix tracks bit-torrent downloads to help them chose what content to purchase the rights all this just means it will appear that much sooner on my Netflix account. At any rate who cares about Breaking Bad. I am too busy watching really depressing Japanese Samurai movies where everyone dies in a titanic sword battle, or commits suicide in the end.

I will say it again Netflix has it figured out; Easy beats free.
