More people downloaded it illegally than watched it actually live! I mean, no wonder since they were airing it first at 10, then at 9 pm on Friday and on cable TV too!

Where did these figures come from?

It's this sort of thing that should be making studio execs take us more seriously. Ignore us at your peril, natch.

It's said on that linked page: it's compiled from Nielsen's numbers and torrent trackers :)

I just don't get why they don't make the shows available for paid legal online download for people outside the US. I would prefer to actually buy the shows instead of downloading them illegally.

I would too! I'm not willing to wait six to eighteen months after everyone else to get my TV, and I don't see why i should have to!
