More and more producers decide to open their own streaming portals, which forces viewers to spend more on the growing number of services. So piracy is back in favor, the scale of which was to be reduced thanks to websites like Netflix, from which, however, a significant number of movies and series are gradually disappearing. Legal viewing is also hindered by the geographic barrier, resulting from the availability of certain productions and services in a limited area.
An example of such a phenomenon is The Mandalorian , which is not legally available to Polish viewers due to the lack of a Polish version of the Disney + platform. However, having access to foreign media, it was impossible not to notice the international phenomenon caused by the new production from the Star Wars universe .
So far, according to TorrentFreak, the favorite in the category of the most frequently downloaded illegally downloaded productions was Game of Thrones , the last season of which we could watch on HBO Go in 2019. At the same time, The Mandalorian was in third place with the first season. In 2020, in addition to Jon Favreau’s production, The Boys, Westworld, Vikings, Star Trek: Picard, Rick and Morty, The Walking Dead, The Outsider, Arrow and The Flash were also included in the list of the top 10 most torrented series .
