I can "render" a movie onto my harddrive from bittorrent in minutes. I don't know why Pixar has to spend so much time on their rendering! /s

- malkia 8y agoIf stealing movies helped people survived, given financial difficulties, then they'll do it. Survival beats "no-steal" laws.

- lovich 8y agoWould you wait to die instead of stealing something to save yourself?
- sabujp 8y agothis is the worst analogy ever
- tibu 8y agoNot really. Pixar has to render a movie before you can download it. Pfizer has to develop the medicine before you can synthesize it.
- armandososa 8y agoA more apt analogy would be to make the movie again, frame by frame, using different voice actors maybe and slightly changing the character looks. Sure, they are skipping over the long process of writing and refining a script, painfully planning and directing the movie over many years and then carefully editing it to perfection, but it's not quite the same as downloading the finished movie.
- VvR-Ox 8y agoSorry but that is not a valid comparison. Movies are for fun & profit. Medicine is for people's health / survival and profit. You can live without the first but without the second you'll probably die soon and maybe painful as well (depending on the first fatal desease you contract).
- drawnwren 8y agoEqually, my personal utility gained from new innovations in the pharmaceutical space is much higher than the entertainment space. As long as the pharmaceutical industry doesn't go the way of the post-piracy entertainment industry, this is great. I don't think anyone is arguing that big pharma is perfect, but I do enjoy the fact that a lot of money goes into finding new drugs.
