The "bootleggers" have been turned into marketing tools! Not only did you torrent hosts use your bandwidth to advertise a product, you did it without getting paid a cent.
pwned!

Wait. "Jumping the Shark" implies that you think "Will and Grace" started out as a good show.
For our international readers, "Will and Grace" is a show about a fag-hag named Grace and her gay friend (sometimes roommate) named Will.
Will is a lawyer who we know is gay because the show keeps making jokes about it, even though he's almost never seen with a man, or at a gay bar, or in any way going out of his way to be gay. However, he fits none of the negative stereotypes about gay people, which gives the writers permission to showcase the real star of the show:
Jack.
Jack is Will's incredibly swishy, girly, catty, flamingly queer friend. More than half of the shows gags involve Jack acting like a total sissy. Were he the only gay character on the show, gay rights groups would have stamped their feet and thrown a Jack-like snit over this show years ago, but the show gets away with it because the show also has Will on it.
Jack also serves the purpose of reminding the audience what a "normal" guy Will is, which is important because the show's main target audience is adult women viewers who fantasize about having a male friend around who they will never be pressured to have sex with.
Doesn't that sound like fantastic TV?
If this show "jumped the shark", it did so in the planning phase.

You need to set the "detect evil bit" setting in your p2p client. Now, if you're asking whether marketing releases have the evil bit set or not, then I'm not sure.
