Hollywood US movies suck ass, downhill quality since decades. China etc also owning more of Hollywood. Stupid pirate scene hasn't evolved much since days of FTP... some crews are still using it, lol. They advanced to decrypt Blu-Ray and DVD, screencap, etc... but still hardly taking distribution seriously. All they, and all other data distributors and users in general... news, books, code, video conversations, etc... need to do is use tor+onioncat+bittorrent and the entire planet full of all those needing to distribute all sorts of data securely anonymously (to a certain level of tradeoff, as is everything in security) will benefit from the anonymous availablity. Including totally and permanently avoiding and ending the Govt Statist Queens Patent License Granted etc copyright MAFIAA through futility once and for all, like it or not, it will happen. Unfortunately, Tor Project is fixated on disallowing its users any freedom to make their own tradeoff choices as to how to use and deploy its [formerly] flexible overlay software as such... with that Tor Project is destroying users ability to share freely as they see fit. That is quite bad for enabling of freedom, the very thing Tor Project claims to be about. The Tor Project is arbitrarily censoring its own protocols, revoking features, against the needs of its users, pontificating and claiming ultimate authority over "security" vs users right to make knowledgeable use case tradeoffs, and censoring users who make that case. Hypocrites. tor should be forked, and v2 onions maintained therein, until other mass distribution solutions are developed. Now you're left with things that don't speak or plugin to the very popular bittorrent... IPFS, I2P, etc. That's fine, newer is fine and the future, and both TPO and tor will rightly be deprecated therein, but the full next gen future isn't here yet, nor is a diversity of well scoped newer operational protocols to choose from.
