All those link sharing and stuff seems so complicated. I just pirated it the regular way...

The link sharing thing wasn't the main point, the main point was that anyone that wanted to could download the movie, and thus put it out on the interwebz for pirates to use.

It would've been pirated regardless, but they make it literally availible to download so that pirates can share it.

Why spend millions of dollars trying to block it, when everyone knows it will be broken in a matter of hours anyway?

People who pirate movies would have never paid for them anyway. The loss from piracy is lower that the cost to fight piracy. It's like installing a $100.000 alarm system to protect a $50.000 house...
