I'd like to ask the cumulative knowledge here to help me debate a question I'm thinking about.

In today's environment, what is the ratio of people who download torrents to the total number of people that watch a show either through streaming or alternative methods of downloading like direct downloading.

I.e. say a torrent gets 2000 downloads. Is it safe to assume that 4,000 people ended up watching and/or downloading the show? 6,000? more like 20,000?

Frankly I'm under the impression at the moment that the ratio could be as high as 1 to 10 or even higher.
What are other people's opinions about the current state of things?
Obviously it will vary considerably by genre...
