The Center for American Progress reports:

It's official, TV is moving online. Fewer customers are buying cable packages and more are opting for lower-cost options that let them watch movies and television shows wherever they want--at an airport or in a coffee shop.

But there are more than 100 online services, from Netflix to Hulu, that allow customers to watch all their favorite episodes of The Simpsons at any time they want. Meanwhile, big broadcast and cable companies have struggled to compete with [the] mobile-ready entertainment market, clamoring for customers' attention.
[...]
[On November 10,] the Motion Picture Association of America joined the pack with a new site called WheretoWatch, a sort of online search engine where customers can type in the name of a movie or TV show and find out exactly where they can watch it legally. Users can search by title, genre, year it was produced or released, MPAA rating (PG or R), and whether it's online, on DVD or in theaters.

    I have learned the lesson the world has been teaching.
    I am now a corporate person. My only mandate is profit above all else.

    Legal? Moral? Ethical? These things do not come into play in my search for personal profit.

    And piracy gives me the best return on my investment.
    The best result at an unbeatable price.

    When caught i'll say 'sorry' and go back to doing it anyway.

    It's the corporate way.

    Greed is good.
