Your argument would make a lot of sense if all the movie stars, directors, producers, composers, etc were as poor as the rest of America.

- earbitscom 15y agoDo you know how many actors, directors producers and composers there are that are as poor or poorer than most Americans? The people you watch on TMZ are an anomaly. Most creatives struggle as much as the next guy.
- seanp2k2 15y agoYes, and I don't see many of them supporting destructive legislation.
- earbitscom 15y agoI wasn't talking about the legislation. I simply said TPB's only greater efficiency is that they don't have to charge for their product, because they come about it dishonestly. And I know plenty of creatives who support this opinion.
- andrewcamel 15y agoAs correct as earbitscom is in his response to this comment, there is another issue. Some of these people are being compensated so well because they are able to play a part in the making of a movie, which millions of people want to watch and will pay money to do so. They are being paid for their abilities and the more specifically, rarity of those abilities.
