> I mean if Hulu doesn’t have a movie I want to watch I’ll just watch something else
Would anyone loose anything if instead of something else you ended up pirating the movie that you wanted to watch?

This aspect is often overlooked when people analyze the impact of piracy. People just look at the sales of the seller of the pirated item, and so if it costs $X and $X is more than I am willing to spend, my pirating won't cost them a sale because there was no scenario in which I was going to buy, and so no harm was done to that seller.
But in the case of entertainment products, if piracy is not available I'm probably not going to simply forego entertainment. I'll instead look for something that is within my budget and entertain myself with that instead.
