Not only would this increase their profits, but if the data collected from all those downloads was to be compiled and then factored into the ratings system in America, then maybe up and coming shows might have a bit more of a chance of surviving long enough to put down roots. I firmly beleive that one of the reasons why Stargate Universe was cancelled was because alot of the people who were watching it, were downloading it for free and thus there was a whole viewing audience that was virtually invisible in terms of ratings. Also, while I'm at it, I think that ratings for shows that are made in America, but are broadcast all over the world, should have those worldwide ratings taken into account. Thats my two cents anyways.
