[...] It’s estimated that 1.9 million copies of the Prison Break finale were downloaded last week. Fox had decided not to air the finale, choosing to release it as a DVD later this month. Clearly, audiences were not willing to wait. Breaking Bad was second for downloads with an estimated 380,000. (torrentfreak) [...]

Serves Fox right for dragging out the air dates of these shows. I had to wait WAY too long to get my fix of Prison Break. >:(

Not that it’s important but we in the uk also got the finale of Sanctuary and pushing daisies before the us too…which is pretty rare but the problem is that although they were prime time in America and also good shows the tv stations over here put them on after 10 pm and would much rather cater for ten year olds with Simon Cowel plc ;) instead.

BS like this is what got me started downloading tv shows in the first place. First tv show downloaded from a newsgroup? Buffy the Vampire Slayer season finale for the season ending with destroying the highschool. It was shown in Canada, but pulled because of Columbine. It wouldn’t show in the U.S for another 6-9 months, but I had my tvrip that I shared with every fan I knew.

“You keep telling yourself that, bud. You are downloading it, which is taking it.”

No – taking something is to remove it – copying something is therefore NOT taking it – it is taking A COPY of it!!! Subtly different, but a huge difference never the less!

For example, if I take a photograph of you – the photograph is a copy of what I can see – I have not stolen or taken anything in the picture! – Any items in the picture are STILL THERE!

I don’t get it, release it on DVD in the US, but free to watch on TV in the UK? Stupid..? That’s asking for piracy. Especially if UK gets it way before the US. Why not just send the bonus episodes with the full season instead of only having 2 episodes on a DVD.. It would be the worst selling DVD if they only have 2 episodes, weather wait for the full season which includes the 2 bonus episodes.

Hahaha..Stupid Fox network jumped the shark, didnt re-new a show that still had legs and quite right if it wasn’t for you guys on the net loyal fans would be left hanging, slapping the loyalty of the fans in the face with the ending and not showing it in the US. I am not suprised Prison Break has had the huge amount of hits on the net, two fingers up to the twats who pull the strings and made a wrong decision again.

@47 beside the series finale (where Michael’s grave was visited 4 years later) there are additional 2 episodes depicting the time between Michael & Sara walked on the beach, to their wedding, Sara’s arrest and imprisonment and until Michael died (and HOW he died).

@15 : What are you talking about? No, they didn’t steal from me, but stealing has many forums. They are however stealing from Hollywood, the music industry, and the game industry.

1) No, they aren’t. If they were actually a legit service like Itunes where everyone pays for things, there would be no controversy, einstein. The costs that they pay for the servers are trivial up against the profits that they incur.

2) That’s to be expected, but that somehow justifies all the money that they make off of giving away other people’s work?

3) I know, sherlock. That’s the whole reason why what they are doing is illegal. Because you don’t pay for anything.

@22 : Yeah, it is. You are taking something which is someone else’s without paying for it. Stealing comes in many forms. It’s not limited to physical. The “new information age” has created a culture of digital theft.

@40 : Piracy causes billions of dollars in losses. Make no mistake about it. Not caring abou† anything except your own happiness, causes incalculable damages.

@Anonymous#9,

You are obviously mentally disabled. Did those eps on bittorrent have commercials?

Commercials are the SOLE reason anything is on tv, it’s called ad revenue, and it’s WHY there are tv networks. They don’t make shows to entertain you, they don’t make shows for their “loyal” fans, they make shows to get you to watch crappy commercials, then 50% of you mindless zombies go out and buy the crap they were advertising.

There is no way in hell a network would release the finale of a show, on bittorrent, without commercials, on purpose.

Now please release breaking bad onto DVD and Blu-Ray so I can buy this awesome series.

Hah… Funny how their greed sprung tv show piracy 20% up… That’s kind of shows why piracy rates are so high in first place… Time differences between tv show initial airs in USA and then other countries make piracy good alternative to waiting till local cable will start airing it… Morale of this story is “Change your business models according to modern needs or they will change with out you”.

I didn’t know there were extra episodes till this post… what a bunch of bastards. I hope the station loses money. Not the actors but just the bastards that orchestrated the whole thing. They deserve what they get. I’m guessing these two episodes will explain how the main guy ended up like he did. Either way I’m still hating the writers or whoever made the decision to do what they did to him. ;DD Massive hate for everyone ;D

Lol @ Post 14. I love how he mentioned something irrelevant. Those bastards should be shot ;D

You just know they’re going to claim piracy cost them (dvd price)*(# downloads) in revenue.

Really though what they’re losing is the revenue from ad slots in series finale?

It’s nice that they’ll claim pirates cost them money and not their own stupid decision though. I’d be kind of pissed at them if they did that to a show I actually watch… like… um… if I’m bored I’ll watch their Sunday cartoons…
