According to sources, the newly released fourth season of 'Arrested Development' was pirated over 100,000 times in its first 24 hours.
As expected, copies of the show were available via warez and torrent sites minutes after the show launched exclusively on Netflix on Sunday.
While the number may seem low when compared to Game of Thrones and other broadcast hits, it is important to note that Arrested Development is a cult classic with a (growing) audience. Additionally, there are over 35 million Netflix subscribers around the world, with full access.
Netflix continues to invest 9 figures in original content, with three hits so far this year including House of Cards and Hemlock Grove.
