I doubt if Hulu had the bargaining power, they would be spending their time playing "police officer". Unfortunately, its the same hand giving them the content, that is pushing them to plug these minor leaks. The only alternative I can see would be an HBO-style online retailer willing to pay to produce high-quality content, cutting off the studio entirely. For whatever reason, they don't exist yet.
