Oh, gah, how frustrating! And maddening -- dammit, they had no right to shut down legitimate files.
And wow, sour grapes, much, Paramout COO? "Our business model is old and creaky and I no longer make enough to own two floors of a high rise. This guy's business model allows him to rake in millions without ever selling anyone else's property. HE IS TEH SUXX0R! HOLLYWOOD SMASH!!"
Y'know, if Hollywood would put up downloadable files of their own work, DRM free, on creaktastic slow servers, and offer faster, clean, multiple downloads for a subscription price like MU did, people would fucking flock to it. They too could be raking in millions based on subscriptions and ads, and all off their own content. Which people would trust more, because you wouldn't be worried about Hollywood or the DOJ uploading infected files to trap people. Seriously, they'd make a fortune.
But no, so much better to spend millions on lawyers and lawsuits trying to stamp out a successful business model than spend thousands emulating it and reaping all the profits.
