Y'umptoo?

(Are you all also going to do it as well?)

You have a very weird moral system you've set up there for enjoying entertaient media.

• won't stream it because you dislike the corporate owner.
• won't pirate it (even though all the show makers/actors/artists/etc are already paid at that point, just leaving the corporate owner you dislike)
• will buy it as a once-off purchase (still supporting the corporate owner you dislike).

Yep that's confusing me.

It's out of principle that I do pirate things. The entertainment conglomerates have used their money and power to completely warp the copyright system so that it hurts the public and benefits them. They've abused it so that it doesn't even benefit artists anymore. As some have said, lengthening or strengthening copyright at this point is basically just like giving a bullied kid more money. The money goes to the bullies and the kid just gets beaten up again.

Why would you think it's morally right to obey an unjust law?

Good for you for sticking to your principles. My approach is a bit different. If I can't buy it in way I get to keep it, it's high seas time!

I wish they would put their cartoon also on their own streaming platform Beacon. But alas, Bezos prefers exclusivity.

I imagine if you buy merch from them, they keep a lot more than their share of the streaming revenues. Beacon probably also gives them more money directly. But, I imagine that in Hollywood having a big successful show on a major network is probably better for your career than making money in ways that the Hollywood press doesn't report on.
