When companies deny us avenues to watch / purchase their products wtf do they expect to happen?

Didn’t help that this only played in my city for a limited time in select theaters. Give us blurays!

“When I was a kid we were lucky if we only had to wait 9 months to rent a theatrical release. The generation before mine had to hope and pray a favorite of theirs would be re-released or air on one of, like, 7 TV channels. ‘I want it now’ is not a real justification for piracy.”

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.

With corporations so consistently and vehemently acting in bad faith, I honestly don't think we need a further justification for piracy.
