I've read the article three times, and I still don't understand how Vice Media is "forcing them out of their digs." Am I crazy, or is there key information missing?!

Vice Media bought the building in which DBA was located.

@1 - A more detailed article.

Thanks, Dave, but it would have helped to have just as much info on the "villain" as there was on the history of the small business, since I know nothing about them -- except maybe they're connected to that HBO documentary series?

All the commenters here (including the author of the article) have names that begin with "D."

@7 broke that sorry.

Can someone summarize from the movie why it wasn't practical to move to a new space? Had they previously been paying below the current (absurd) rates and lost that deal, or was there just no viable space to rent?
