These companies are just mad that their movies sucked and didn’t make any money, so they’re saying they’re losing profit from piracy… what profit?!?! No one wants to watch Hellboy 2019 for free, much less put in the time and effort to pirate that garbage. And if they are, then I feel like having to watch any fragment of that movie is punishment enough.

Honestly, I don't see a problem with pirating a movie that came out 5+ years ago. After a movie has left cinemas and can only be seen via DVD/blueray are the studios really making much money back from those? They're definitely not making any money on DVDs/bluerays bought from secondhand stores.

And why the hell would I buy a region locked Blu-ray, and be forced to watch through those FBI piracy screens?

I agree watched that movie one time i would defiantly never buy that movie.
