It's hard to feel bad for an industry that just flat out refuses to offer the products and services it's customers demand. 15 years ago I considered it ridiculous that TV shows weren't offered online. Popcorn Time should never have been able to get a foothold in the first place because people should have been able to access it's services legally. The video game industry has somewhat learned its lesson now that we have steam which has been great for gamers and developers (especially smaller developers). So, yeah, it's illegal and I understand why we have copyright laws. But people have been bitching about this and taking copyright law into their own hands since napster. Reading articles like these is like watching a youtube video of someone obnoxious get their ass kicked. I don't condone violence, but you get zero sympathy from me.
