I have been pushed in many thought provoking directions because of art. Issac Asimov ignited an interest in math, Kurt Vonnegut books laid a foundation for philosophy pursuits, and an indie film I was dragged to about a…
It is very convenient to steal. You fail to grasp that still constitutes theft.
Did you steal any content that was behind a paywall? If you did, you have taken money out of my industry and made it more difficult for it to be a viable career path in the future.
I'm saying "taking a service that you did not pay to receive" is stealing.
I'm saying when you steal you're a thief. If that ruffles your feathers, stop stealing.
You gain the value of service without paying the requested fee. If you weren't going to watch it, you wouldn't. Watching it, without paying for it is theft and it takes money from me.
I am 100 percent okay with it. One entity has provided the fee for service (and afforded me 1/100th of an avocado toast, thank you very much) and is not in their ownership to do as they like. That they want to share it…
Finally! I agree with this. I think that physically purchased goods should be free from any sort of "DRM." and is not stealing. The difference is one party at a time, i.e. household, library patron, etc, can enjoy the…
Sure you're talking about economical motivators, which I hope and fight for our Union to adjust to. Until then tho..a person who steals from a moral high ground is still a thief stealing from my income.
did you extract the value of the entertainment without providing the fee? That's stealing money from me. If you weren't gonna watch it, don't watch. The argument being made is you in fact, do want to watch it, you just…
ha. You are not wrong. The winds are shifting and I'm optimistic that i will be able to individually garner a better contract over time even if my union fails to help with it.
Boba fett is not provided individually. The cost value of producing that show is driving people to a subscription system. If you don't want to do that, don't sign up for it. If you want to watch that show but you don't…
In your example, getting a third party to provide a digital copy of a good you already own is not theft. I would argue it's a lousy way of doing things, opening you up to many more problems, but it's not theft. Taking a…

It is literally stealing money out of my pocket. Even if they don't watch it themselves, they will provide it free of charge or even for a personal fee I will never see to someone else. The concept that Pirates wouldn't…
I don't give out exact income on the internet. Our base pay is daily rate governed through SAG-Aftra CBA with the Producer's guild and scaled off the budget of the production. Then there are OT factors and bumps that go…
I appreciate you not pirating. You are only being screwed if you think you are entitled to the entertainment. You are not. You have an option to pay for the service as offered, steal it, or move on. Entertainment…
If thieves are offended at having their behavior identified as stealing, they could stop stealing. The problem, as I see it, is entertainment is being seen as a "good" and not a "service." Physical dvds and vhs has…
and yet they consume it. Consuming goods and services without providing money for that is...wait for it.... stealing. Not paying for things that they do not consume is voting with their dollars.
Then you are a thief who steals products that you don't enjoy.
Or we could all just admit that it's theft. Society being in a lurch between how we handle our physical goods and our digital goods is a very important subject that is going to get ironed out over the next few…
Refusing to pay and refusing to consume is different morally from stealing. I don't know where to find all those requirements. Perhaps they exist. If they are that big of a dealbreaker for you, don't consume the value…
