Odd thing is that Star are probably the biggest beneficiaries of the TRP system- they dominate virtually every slot in prime time.
With pirates and WU's doing the rounds, there'll practically be no incentive for folks to watch on TV when they know what is going to happen, and the likes of us watching will reduce, which could potentially skew TRP even more in favour of the older generation (if it stays relevant as a metric, that is)
And for shows like MHRW, who practically seem to have a bank of just 5-6 episodes (sometimes even less), this will increase pressure on the producers.
A lower bank could also help the producers effect a change in track in case the TRP audience didn't like it- this will become even more difficult in the new scenario.
