Because if a product maker cannot satisfy their consumer base they don't deserve to profit from their products, regardless of how much time or energy they put into those products. I don't care if Taiwanese children in a sweatshop bled from their fingers to produce those legitimate optical disks, if they don't satisfy the consumer the company deserves to go out of business and let the sweatshop children starve. Products that are free or dirt cheap (just needing to be burned to a disk, if you don't have a USB flash drive or USB-enabled playing device) and can be easily accessed will always trump products that are difficult or frustrating to use and cost as much or more than it did to go see the film in a theater.
