Then you are a thief who steals products that you don't enjoy.

I assume that if people want to enjoy a service without paying for it, it's theft. It's the "I don't want to pay for it, but I still want to watch it." that seems to be hang up for so many. Let me explain it simply.

Or we could all just admit that it's theft. Society being in a lurch between how we handle our physical goods and our digital goods is a very important subject that is going to get ironed out over the next few generations I'm sure

"When it's so easy to steal why should I pay for it." When you pay for things you like, more of it gets made.

My real and passionate anger is directed constructively at those entities. Today I am providing a face and a name to people who think "piracy isn't stealing"

Refusing to pay and refusing to consume is different morally from stealing. I don't know where to find all those requirements. Perhaps they exist. If they are that big of a dealbreaker for you, don't consume the value provided by

To you. The service I provide to society is entertainment. Perhaps in the dystopian sand planet of the future that won't hold much value but right now on Today's earth, entertainment is a service that is valued by society. In the

You, personally, are stealing from my income. All those issues you raise are valid and important issues to address. Stealing because those things make you angry makes you part of the problem.

We get deprived of the income when it is consumed without providing money for that service. If you watch it with your friends, 5 people watch it for one purchase. If it's good, you all tell 3 more people. Of those 15 people, 20 percent

around anywhere from 2 - 25 cents per viewing per consumer. Over the course of my career that can break down to easily 7 figures if I was to work on say the original Star Wars.

my contract is directly related to the post box office profits of the movie.

The workforce's income is contractually tied to the amount of post box office profit the film makes. When you steal a show you get the entertainment value without cost of your money. That is directly reflected in my income.

I will happily take your money and provide you with a new, identical copy of it if that's the deal you want to make.

No, it's the union job to do that for sure. I'm only here to pop the balloon on the consumer's perception that "it's not theft." there's a face and a name that goes along with that theft. Thousands of them

Company's providing goods and services in a capitalistic society are entirely dependent on consumers providing the income for their workforce. How else do you really think this whole thing works. You get to keep your money, but still g

You're copying the entertainment value provided and stealing the income that is related to that value.

when you steal a viewing of a show, the income related to your consumption is directly stolen from me.

when you pirate a show, no longer get the contractually based income related to your viewing.

the income associated with IP very much does.

This is a valid complaint. I would tell you that on the many streaming services available for free like youtube, vimeo, etc. There is probably a small filmmaker who is making the type of show you enjoy. Finding them, providing value by firs

Yes. It will get worse. Support the type of content you want and you'll see more.

Yet. I do have minor creative input depending on the production. When an audience shows they enjoy something I am able to argue more fiercly to include a similar thing into the next one. And someday I'll be makign my own productions.

you are able to pay for individual film and tv shows right now through Amazon and Apple, i'm sure others. I do advocate for change, within my own union. Today I am educating consumers on who exactly they are stealing from when they pir

I'll go into your mailbox and take your paycheck. I'll provide you with a new identical copy of it. I'll leave the previous existing copy intact, but in my possession. Which one of us gets to deposit the money?

In this example, the banking provides the service of a safe place to keep my money until I spend it. That's what I pay for, in the form account fees and the banks ability to leverage my saved money for their financial gain.

Ah, now that is a point. I don't expect consumers to take on my personal union politics. That is the duty of the workforce and their union.. Which is more powerful if consumers don't steal money out of their pocket. Pay for cool t

This literally how the financial system is set up. Consumers provide money to a workforce that provides good and services that society enjoys. In turn, that workforce consumes goods and services providing income to a different workforce. Wh

100 percent agree. Voting with dollars is the fastest and best way to make better products. The big studios know how many people are watching their stuff via theft. They are going to keep producting low end crap with studio friendly sponsor
