I can understand but disagree with folks who don't believe in creative rights, but don't really understand your argument.

If the entertainment industry has gotten gross and stagnant, it seems like the solution is to not consume it, not pirate it.

This just seems like a thin excuse to steal.




You say "tomato" I say "eat the rich".

Again: I get it's not the best look. I strongly support artists rights and the need for creatives to make money off their labor. However, the system sucks, and doesn't actually benefit the creatives anyway. Maybe creative/artist jobs shouldn't be "jobs" anymore, and people MBI or something needs to step in. Maybe the public need to subsidize the arts through state sponsored programs.

IDK what the answer is. But I know it isn't "more streaming services with no ability to share passwords".
