Do what, exactly? There is nothing they can do. The movie would have ended up on pirate sites eventually anyways, because they all do. There is no stopping piracy, especially because media providers are such greedy shit stains.
I would never have gotten back into piracy if it wasn't for media providers being such assholes. Give me one provider that has it all, forever for the same fee, that allows me to use my own UI, and I'd gladly pay that monthly fee.
Piracy is a drag, it takes huge amounts of time and money and a lot of times the complete experience is sub-par. Sometimes the sub titles aren't properly synced, and its always awesome that when at the end of a long day, you want to watch a movie with your wife, but you first need to spend 30 minutes properly syncing the sub titles, if they match at all and dont drift over time... I really prefer to pay a provider to do it all for me, but they can't seem to do it without without wanting to steal my first born... So piracy it is, but YOU, Netflix, Hulu and all other shit providers, caused this
