in reply to True • • •Take away the pirates and they'll have to pay!
Or people will just not watch movies... Which is far far worse than the pirates as there will be no drive to watch new movies. Having viewers, even if they don't pay immediately doesn't mean those people won't eventually become paying viewers. A non-viewer will never pay.
I should also probably mention the last movie at a theater I went to see was 'the boy and the heron', and that was the last piece of movie media I've watched.

in reply to Coskii • •@Coskii @True "home taping is killing music". They've been on the same short sighted, cutting their nose off to spite their face, thing for decades.
Every study shows that piracy increases demand for "legitimate" consumption too, but they will literally drive themselves into bankruptcy rather than have one single pirated copy in existence. Muppets.
