I know with Game of Thrones TV show IIRC it was reported in the Australian media how many people downloaded it. I think they used according to the article one of the torrent snooping sites for stats.
Personally I'd like to think we'll move more towards DRM-Free, but practically for some reason I think things will get worse. Recently we bought to second installment of the Hobbit on bluray, and despite being in Australia we were forced to sit through two American government warnings on piracy which we couldn't skip. I just get the feeling DRM with ebooks will become more intrusive. Sad but it hurts the honest person more.
