Life of me I cannot remember. It was french, I believe something "bastards" when translated. Remember the plot fully. The dad was dying of an inoperable cancer, his son enlists a junkie to help him score heroin to ease his sufferi

Feeling good is a distraction that is useful to society. We are not a population requiring 100% productivity at all times. Feeling good can help ease problems, disconnecting through "trash tv" can give your brain enough of a break

I have been pushed in many thought provoking directions because of art. Issac Asimov ignited an interest in math, Kurt Vonnegut books laid a foundation for philosophy pursuits, and an indie film I was dragged to about a patriarch dealing wi

entertainment is a service industry. Extracting the service value without providing the requested fee is stealing.

It is very convenient to steal. You fail to grasp that still constitutes theft.

Did you steal any content that was behind a paywall? If you did, you have taken money out of my industry and made it more difficult for it to be a viable career path in the future.

I'm saying "taking a service that you did not pay to receive" is stealing.

It's the definition. Not paying for redefines one to being a thief.

I'm saying when you steal you're a thief. If that ruffles your feathers, stop stealing.

You gain the value of service without paying the requested fee. If you weren't going to watch it, you wouldn't. Watching it, without paying for it is theft and it takes money from me.

I am 100 percent okay with it. One entity has provided the fee for service (and afforded me 1/100th of an avocado toast, thank you very much) and is not in their ownership to do as they like. That they want to share it is their busines

piracy is receiving the service value of entertainment without providing the requested fee. Another word for it is stealing.

Finally! I agree with this. I think that physically purchased goods should be free from any sort of "DRM." and is not stealing. The difference is one party at a time, i.e. household, library patron, etc, can enjoy the entertainmen

Sure you're talking about economical motivators, which I hope and fight for our Union to adjust to. Until then tho..a person who steals from a moral high ground is still a thief stealing from my income.

did you extract the value of the entertainment without providing the fee? That's stealing money from me. If you weren't gonna watch it, don't watch. The argument being made is you in fact, do want to watch it, you just don&#x

ha. You are not wrong. The winds are shifting and I'm optimistic that i will be able to individually garner a better contract over time even if my union fails to help with it.

Right, so that isn't stealing. It is in fact what I advocate strongly. If more people did that, more content they would enjoy would be provided at a reasonable cost. But extracting the value of watching something without paying the fee

Boba fett is not provided individually. The cost value of producing that show is driving people to a subscription system. If you don't want to do that, don't sign up for it. If you want to watch that show but you don't want t

In your example, getting a third party to provide a digital copy of a good you already own is not theft. I would argue it's a lousy way of doing things, opening you up to many more problems, but it's not theft. Taking a good or se

It is literally stealing money out of my pocket. Even if they don't watch it themselves, they will provide it free of charge or even for a personal fee I will never see to someone else. The concept that Pirates wouldn't have paid

I don't give out exact income on the internet. Our base pay is daily rate governed through SAG-Aftra CBA with the Producer's guild and scaled off the budget of the production. Then there are OT factors and bumps that go along with

oh rad. I had an amazing time watching Soderbergh literally operate a camera above my recently deceased body. It was spiritual.

Did you purchase, rent, or legally borrow the physical dvd? When you lend it out, are you still able to enjoy the entertainment service provided by the dvd? The answers to these questions are the answers to your questions.

The Acct was heavily provided by now Action Director Sam Hargrave, and you should look through his credits. He's most well known for Extraction on Netflix, but he's been doing it for a while. If you liked Acct, you'll probabl

"I steal from you because I find your parent company morally reprehensible, yet I would still like to enjoy the services provided by that company." Hell of a position.

I appreciate you not pirating. You are only being screwed if you think you are entitled to the entertainment. You are not. You have an option to pay for the service as offered, steal it, or move on. Entertainment abounds in our society and

If thieves are offended at having their behavior identified as stealing, they could stop stealing. The problem, as I see it, is entertainment is being seen as a "good" and not a "service." Physical dvds and vhs has condi

and yet they consume it. Consuming goods and services without providing money for that is...wait for it.... stealing. Not paying for things that they do not consume is voting with their dollars.
