Corporations like Apple and Amazon have taken advantage of the ease of downloadable products, especially music. Online stores like iTunes have capitalized on the single, low cost download of music tracks. But along with that, file sharing has rising dramatically.

Although Limewire has been shut down and forced to pay out artists and corporations, file sharing systems are still in place and music is still being illegally downloaded. Limewire was just the face of the underground industry. Its not just music that is being pirated. Game of Thrones has become the most illegally downloaded TV show of all time.

But does the mean that the artists or producers lose income? Game of Thrones is still showing and artists are still making music so there must still be a profit to be made. Would it then be easier for entertainment companies to just kill the pirating industry by making some or most of their content free? Is a system like Netflix the better way to go?
