Why I don’t get is why they fight so hard to promote piracy though. It’s not enough that it’s free, it also has to be easier?

Why were the doors locked though? These people came expecting a horribly bland experience, but got LOTR instead! WIN!
My only argument I can come up with is that other people have friends, so $25 will be less than going to the cinema because they don’t have to pay that price for each person watching. It’s still ridiculously expensive though.

Given your username it’s probably for the best.
5.1.4 surround. I use an nvidia Shield for playing back files (via kodi), and it works pretty well.
I could download my file and be done with it. If I throw away or damage my super fragile bluray I’m not entitled to a new copy. I don’t even need to be able to redownload (although it’s a nice service). It means there is an ongoing service behind it because they decide it and because they are afraid I will share with my friends - which is about as difficult as finding the media elsewhere online.
Same issue with physical media. Suddenly your expensive factory is idle, your employees don’t produce anything. We still get to buy movies and not rent them perpetually.
