It's not just the access

The access has to be in a format the customer wants. Maybe they don't want to deal with APPLE and their proprietary BS. Maybe they'd like it in something that can be moved to other mediums for personal use. The amount of anti-piracy apps out there and such make it impossible for people to watch something on the device of THEIR choice, not the choice of the provider...hence the piracy. You can't force people to sign up for services if they don't want those services, just the show. Try again providers, consumers want options, and not just YOUR APPROVED options.

Just because I don't like the price or the format doesn't justify me pirating it. If I don't like the price of movie ticket I'm justified sneaking in the back door for free?

Of course that's not ethical and nobody should feel "entitled" to watching BrBa on the terms of their choosing and the price of their choosing.

But to go along with your hypothetical analogy, the movie theater would sell a hell of a lot more tickets if they weren't $20 apiece with assigned seating (open seating available if you buy a popcorn combo).

Fine but how many people who "pirate" for that reason purchase a copy so they have legal content and support all those involved in it's creation?

This rational for pirating does not hold water.

More importantly is global access, AMC should not region lock their site which would then give them ground to stand on against overseas piracy.
