You guys are deranged... Every movie you download had huge amounts of work behind it, those people need money too.

Sure, a studio makes hundreds of millions making a shitty marvel movie, but it does still legitimately cost them tens of millions to make - they just make revolting middle of the road crap so it sells to idiots everywhere.

That's why there's no good movies any more - it's too risky to tell a good story, now that we're all pirating them

The instant there's no money in it, you'll see there will be no movies made (and that's precisely why the last 20 years of movies have generally been rubbish).

The studios are fine, and by all means steal Deadpool 53 or whatever off them, but don't pretend you're being noble in the process.

At least own up that it's theft.

Similarly - It takes real skill and experience to make and record music (and if anything that's gotten a while lot cheaper than it used to be!), but the artists that aren't in the radio would be gutted to hear your downloading it.

That's also why merch is so important to a bands bottom line - it's got away less middle men in the line taking a cut
