If you don't want to pay, you don't have to pay. Ever snuck into an extra movie in the theatre when you were a kid, or had a friend who worked at the theatre get you in to a free show?
In your Avator example, had their been a group of motivated people willing to pursue the creative goal of James Cameron's vision in spite of monetary compensation, $237 million would not be required. Some sort of 501c3 action movie production company.
- jamesgeck0 16y agoThere have been no instances of altruistic people creating a movie valued at over two hundred million dollars, nor would piracy be justified if such an instance existed.
- ffumarola 16y agoI actually haven't snuck into an extra movie. But, to be fair, I have downloaded movies and music. I just grew up and don't find the need to do that anymore. With services like Pandora and Slacker Radio, and a ton of pay per song models, I don't need to steal music anymore. With Netflix and Redbox, it is worth a few bucks to keep the artists creating so that I can keep enjoying their work. People who justify piracy either A) Haven't grown up, B) Don't work for a living so they don't understand how important it is to get paid for their work, or C) Are selfish and feel the world owes them something. Maybe a mixture of the above.
