I wouldn't take it that seriously. Most pirates want access to high quality material, when they want it. Sure, if Hulu screws up, it will probably take a while for big media to try something like it again. But I think pirates would accept something new pretty quickly. It's incredibly easy to get something off bittorrent, so there's no risk in trying a new website. Hulu seems to value their user's trust a lot. It's really nice, and shows intent. But I don't need to have a lot of trust to use Hulu. If I don't like how they let me access a tv show, I can just use some frictionless means to get it a couple hours later.
