They would do the same if they weren't so old and crusty.
*I'm probably around the same age as this bastard. At least I'm not as crusty.
It's funny they act like piracy didn't exist before the internet. The tools are different and easier to use, but the justifications are the same. People want convenience, so if companies really cared about stopping piracy they would bend over backwards to make their content affordable and easy to access. Releasing only in theaters and/or doing the subscription shuffle is not convenient to the consumer.
