Of the things I "pirate" are tv shows that I didn't get a chance to see. Now though only two shows are on my list of downloads because I have Hulu+
And one of those two shows, I then go and buy the seasons on bluray so I do end up paying for them thus contributing to the show in my own way.
I did hear a comment a few days ago about last Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones and that it was the most pirated/downloaded episode. This was told to an actor from that show and they didn't think "Oh no! My show isn't making money!" they pretty much shrugged it off and smiled even (and didn't look like a fake smile either) and thought it was flattering at least that people love the show so much they would risk being fined or jailed for it (not what they said I'm merely expressing my own interpretation of the situation).
