going after the people who want to consume your product isn't how you increase profits.

making it less convoluted to watch movies is.

Oddly enough, these are smaller independent studios instead of the Hollywood behemoths.

That said, the major studios will probably reignite their antipiracy fervor against individual users if they begin losing more money in the streaming market. But it's important to remember that a very small segment of the population is privy to the torrenting world, while the masses will just keep watching the studios' ad-infested crap because they see no other options.
