I don't agree with piracy, but I do think there is an argument to be made that allowing a company to acquire first run, second run and on demand rights means that more people are likely to do it. That said, there was a recent study that suggested that piracy hadn't actually hurt the music industry at all financially as people who downloaded copied songs would never have actually paid for them even if that was the only way to obtain them, so perhaps Sky and hbo don't care too much.
