Here's the Futurama pilot, if you'd like an example:

http://www.justanimedubbed.tv/futurama-season-1-episode-1/

There are a *lot* of streaming pirated content websites out there,
especially for TV shows and sporting events.  Google (ironically) is
your friend here if you don't believe me; that link was the first one
returned.

Anecdotal evidence, sure, but I know people who only use those sites
because there are no legal alternatives in their geographical locations.
 These people *want* to pay money for content, and can't, because of
geographical restrictions imposed by DRM.  Nice work there.
