A couple of fallacies in there. Distributors have - bended creative work property laws/precedents to maximise profits. - Been using marketing as barrier of entry. - many times used anti competitive practices. Paying consumers are not subsidising free riders. Given zero or an infinity of pirates the ticket price woụld not change. An effective anti piracy solution doesn't imply pirates would convert into paying consumers, some would of course, and ticket prices would most likely increase rather than decrease. Dubious parallel and nobody is forced. Taxes are forced subsidies. Aside those that's business models and market response.
