Well NBC has thing called NBC Direct which actually allows you to download episodes onto your PC for later viewing even offline. Obviously you can only watch the videos for a limited time. I believe it's 30 days for most shows. But let's face it that's plenty of time to watch it. So why wouldn't you just download a NBC show from NBC.com, that way they WOULD know exactly how popular a show is? I know the reason. The reason is because with a torrent you get to keep the copy forever and it's free. Because let's face it $2( $3 for HD ) is sooooo much money to spend. The fact is this isn't a few years ago. There are PLENTY of LEGAL and FREE ways to catch up on a missed episode of a show without having to use a torrent. The differnce as I said you don't get to KEEP the episode. And face it if you like the episode that much that you just have to have it, guess what, it's worth the $2-$3 then.
