The image above is an example of an illegal site who would still be a source of competition towards our website. On this site there are thousands of episodes and links to various hosting websites which hold the videos of said episodes - the example above holds the links to the two seasons of the TV show Grimm, one of the shows that would be aired on our website.
However, using 3rd party links through this site increases the chances of downloading viruses onto a viewers computer.
Another example of competition to our site is 4OD - a commercial website much like our own, but they solely focus on shows that are aired on their stations (C4, E4 and More 4). They would take away the audience members for any show aired on the 4 channels. This site has a lower chance of giving you viruses, but it has a pop up when you first load the page saying that they use cookies - a tool to be able to tailor the adverts you see on the website to things that you search for.
My final example is the most popular option, BBC iPlayer. It spans across 10 channels, and includes any movies that are aired on those channels - the one that has been on the iPlayer for the longest is "Bruce Almighty". It spreads across a wider audience, but still only aires shows from their channels.
Once again, this is another site that uses cookies but as it is an non-comercial site the information it gathers is likely for other websites to know you might be interested in a Russell Howard tour DVD or a boxset for a comedy on BBC 3.
