Piracy - how it might help Dominion
Anyone who has followed SyFy's original series Dominion over the last two seasons is FULLY AWARE that the show is pirated by a strong and dedicated contingent of fans who aren't able to watch the show concurrently, but still
love it.
love it.
Who can blame them? It's an intriguing show, with a strong social media following. These aren't fans who want to get the show on the cheap - they genuinely love it, and they want to interact with the cast and crew - who are fabulous with their time, but are typically only able to support the US broadcast.
CNET took note of the fact that Netflix pays attention to what shows are pirated in order to determine if they are worth acquiring. http://www.cnet.com/news/netflix-follows-the-pirates-to-decide-which-shows-to-pick-up/
I'll stand up. I download the heck out of it. And rewatch it, get screenshots, read the captions to understand it, and enjoy it more. The DVDs aren't out yet, so that's the only way I can. Type "Dominion S02EP__" <- (fill in 01 through 13 for the episode number) into ANY search engine to see how many hits you get. There are many, many places serving up copies right now. The demand for this show is HUGE.
ReplyDeleteLOL - it wasn't said loudly, but it was clear since we had so many internationals watching at the same time when the show wasn't available. :-}
