This is not to be taken as offensive just curious.
how does the writer strike change anything? youre still pirating are you not regardless?! I’m confused on how your ethics/ morals applied when they weren’t on strike.
Until the strike I was subscribed to Apple TV, Paramount+, Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime so I don’t pirate unless what I want isn’t available on physical disc or streaming.
If a streaming service removes original content because they don’t want to pay residuals I’ll torrent it.
Likewise anything new that comes out during the strike I’ll torrent. Once they start paying the writers fairly and guarantee protections agains AI for writers and actors I’ll be more than happy to start giving them my money again. But as things stand the studios pocket 99% of the money hence the strikes.
