I mean, I don’t mind paying for well crafted media. I know how much work goes into it. I used to pirate films a lot back before streaming services became mainstream, and I remember how fiercely the big cable and media companies resisted streaming video until Netflix did an end run around them. People will pay for good storytelling, if you don’t make the terms absurd or predatory- which im sure the big studios would, given the opportunity. In that sense, I think piracy serves a function as it provides an alternative should they get too greedy.
