Jeremy Clarkson’s new motoring show has become the most illegally downloaded television programme in history. the first episode was downloaded illegally 7.9m times, the second 6.4m times and the third 4.6m times. British viewers made up the largest percentage (13.7%) of the total number of illegal downloads. it is estimated that Amazon could have lost up to £3.2m in revenue in Britain alone on episode one because of illegal downloads.

The advances of NDM means that it has become easier to upload/download/stream content illegally. Even though this means audiences are able to find content that they like/enjoy without having to spend money on things that they do not enjoy. However this also means they the content that people enjoy are still not being paid for, meaning the institutions behind the content are not getting the revenue - a lack of revenue means that institutions will refuse to continue making the content because they aren't successful, and could even result in them going out of business. I think that sites such as Netflix/Amazon Prime/Apple Music/ Spotify are a fundamental part of the entertainment business because they are an appealing and economic way to get customers to pay for their content. The only issue here is that not everything is available on these sites, so not all institutions will benefit.
