![]() Now in its 18th season, South Park is still a very culturally relevant series thanks to its biting satire and quick episode production cycle. It may be the lowest entry on the list, but South Park’s ability to crack the top 10 most pirated TV shows is nothing to sneer at.

It may seem like a victimless crime (especially considering the targets are largely multi-billion dollar entertainment companies), but internet piracy is a huge issue, especially in today’s fractured television landscape. Movies, TV shows, video games, and music piracy are all rampant in the internet age, particularly because it’s both difficult for authorities to police and is so widespread so as to not feel like a criminal offense.

Piracy has sure changed a lot since the days when Blackbeard and his ilk terrorized the high seas. ![]()
