    buying

    Lol

    Stop funneling money into the pockets of billionaires, they have enough money; buying movies doesn’t put money into the pockets of the underpaid writers, prop designers, stylists or editors.

    The movie is already made, and the low-wage workers are not paid royalties.

      Fully disagree. The same as saying “why pay for bread, it’s already made”. You want to to say the workers should earn more, that is a separate conversation, but it’s a very wrong take to say that just because it is already means its worth nothing.

            Who do you think pays the people?

            billionaire corposluts

            You can argue that ultimately we pay the billionaire corposluts, which actually is my point. Maybe stop doing that.

              You can argue not paying anything at all which means even the workers is moral, which is actually my point. Maybe stop doing that.

              You want to pirate? Go for it, but don’t act like you’re a saint for doing so. Yeah scrooge won’t get his 90%. Cratchit doesn’t get his 10% either.

              If you actually cared about being moral you wouldn’t need to pirate because you wouldn’t partake at all, you wouldn’t watch any of it. That would be the actual moral path.

        Digital piracy has no scarcity, and the bread has already been eaten, and the leftover bread is going to be thrown in the trash.

        Not at all the same thing. Bread is a one-time consumable. A DVD can be used repeatedly and duplicated at virtually no cost. That’s why there’s no second-hand market for bread. I can’t believe I have to explain this.

          second-hand market for bread.

          “very interesting… are you planning to include ads in that?” -business executives, probably.
