NAYRT

I recall reading some evidence that piracy generally has a positive impact on sales. Basically most of these have concluded that people pirate as a way to view the material either when they can't otherwise (like OP), or as a way to "preview" something they will actually purchase if they enjoy it.

The studies were limited, though, with regards to distinguishing between indie vs. mainstream productions, but I would argue, anecdotally, that most pirates are more likely to pay for indie things than they are big commercial stuff.

This is definitely true for me. I won't buy shows or movies that I haven't seen or CDs that I haven't heard. I have a limited budget, so I want to make sure that everything I buy is something I know I enjoy. I'll download a few episodes or songs to see if I like it, and then if I do, I'll go ahead and buy it.
