It won't take long for a bunch more sites to pop up to replace the ones that were taken down. The worse the legal streaming sites get, the more pirate sites there will be.
This. When paid usability is worse than pirated, that's when piracy surges, always. Why would anyone want to deal with 10 different sites just to see what's available, when pirate sites has the whole catalog indexed and searchable in a single place.
