That seems a bit harsh. All they are doing is requiring a one-week waiting
period for people to get their content for free. Is Nordstroms' responsible
for theft because they don't give their merchandise away for free?

They make their content available on the internet, they make individual
programs available a la carte immediately for a reasonable price, and they
make it available for free after one week. That does not really seem like
the "old way".
