Piracy has always been a convenience problem and only partly a cost problem.
Pirating content is the easiest, fastest, highest quality, and most available method of watching content. The price is just a nice bonus.
Digital restrictions hurt everyone and maybe one day Hollywood will wake up and realize that you can't strong-arm the market into behaving how you want it to and you have to adapt to consumer demand. It's one of the few industries that I know of that try this hard to fight against consumer demand. It's so backwards.
Until the day they change, pirate on.

Nearly every per-episode-purchase vendor lists them the day after (most likely because the networks that air the shows require them to wait). It's dumb, and all it does is push me away from paying them more than they'd make on advertising from me anyway.
