The Broken Bittorrent Market

By Paul Kedrosky · Thursday, May 17, 2007 ·
For all the built-in liquidity in the market for "shared" media -- music, games, television, movies, anime, etc. -- it is interesting to see that torrent providers and consumers are fairly seriously out of sync.

The figure on the left below is what people are consuming by media type, while the figure on the right is what torrents are being provided. Surprisingly, at least to me, people want television far more than anything else, and the provider side has television and movies about equal.
