    I have some reservations about pirating movies because of the impact it can have on people who work on the movies.

    I would give absolutely zero fucks about pirating AI generated content, no matter how many “prompt engineers” or whatever they had working on it.

      Just send everyone in the credits a dollar. Its way more than they would make from your purchase royalties.

        It’s not just royalties, it’s the success of the industry in general. If those evil studios go out of business, it will eliminate a lot of jobs, if a movie flops, there’s no sequel, etc. The fact that the creatives make much less than the suits is lame, but it doesn’t change that basic framework.

        But if the studios are already eliminating those jobs, then them going under is only a problem for shareholders.
