No. In fact, unless the people who produced the pilot put it online themselves, it can be illegal to post it online. And most pilots are never even broadcast on TV, so the average person would never even have access to them to post them. But in the cases of the ones that are shown, many producers are willing to look the other way because it might mean that their pilots will get a wider exposure on the Internet than they might have gotten only on TV.
a pilot could generate a lot of public support, and that could influence programmers. That could shake up their assumptions about what the public wants or doesn't want.
True. Good word of mouth (like this pilot has been generating) is never a bad thing...
