What better boycott than to pirate it?

• gknoy 12y ago
  Infringing the copyright implies that you want it, which is, at least to a certain degree, the opposite of boycott.

  ...a legal boycott?

  I wonder if studios cite piracy numbers when negotiating product placement rates. If movie piracy became particularly common (I do not believe that it currently is, despite what the MPAA claims), I bet they would. Increased product placement to offset revenue lost in ticket sales.

    A better framing would be product placement to better leverage infringing uses. Not every download / view is a lost sale. In fact, the more we look at this, the more we find the majority of them are not lost sales. There aren't enough entertainment dollars out there to fund it all. But they like the views. Who doesn't?

  I'd rather support artists who aren't using the copyright empire in order to monetize their art. I think any adult should be able to give up The Avengers for moral reasons. You don't need movie franchises that much.
