Fox found out that as much as a week's delay of their shows appearing on Hulu causes a spike in episode piracy. [link]
It's like this, Fox. There's lots of shows that people want to watch, but not when your schedule dictates. We understand showing programs is a business and we don't mind watching shows with commercials. But if the shows aren't made available we'll steal them. The BBC learned to show Dr Who in the US the same day as it was shown in England because a delay of even a week, let alone the 3 weeks it used to do, got everyone who wanted to see it to steal it instead of waiting. This year they're showing on the same day and piracy is way down. I still pirate because I don't have cable, but I buy the DVDs when they come out.
Oh, and when looking at ratings, be sure to check Hulu's hit counter. It's much more accurate than those Nielsen Ratings boxes.
