The Mandalorian is poised to become 2019's most-pirated show since it's only available in a few countries

The Star Wars series is one of the most hotly anticipated shows of 2019. "But it’s also set to be one of the most pirated shows of the year too," says Amit Kawala. "That’s because Disney+ has only launched in a handful of countries so far—the US, Canada, and the Netherlands, with Australia and New Zealand to follow next week. In the United Kingdom and most of the rest of the world, preexisting licensing deals mean we’ll have to wait until next March for the service to launch—which means a four-month wait for The Mandalorian and a potential return to online piracy for many Star Wars fans."
