This analogy fails on every level. There are points to be made against pirating, you made zero of them. Chocolate bars are consumed and digested, digital media is not,it can be resold, rented infinitely.
There is also the point GP may have already seen the movie in theaters, why should he have to pay to watch it again. Also gp wanted to rent the movie, not purchase it,and on top of that has multiple streaming services he is subscribed to, none of which offered the movie.
People are tired of having to hunt down what they want to watch, and many would happily pay for one service that had the full catalogaavailable regardless of region. Until this happens the MPAA will never win by greed and shooting themselves in the foot.
- IanCal 6y ago> why should he have to pay to watch it again. Because that wasn't included in the ticket price. If it was, cinema tickets would be more valuable and they would charge more.
- nkrisc 6y agoWhen the movies I want to watch are not available I just don't watch them. Movies are a luxury, it's not like steeling bread to free your starving family.
