    They get paid. They just don't get a share of profits. They are usually paid a salary or, increasingly more commonly, are paid as a contractor.

    Yeah but me streaming doesnt get them more paid, and it's a fucking pittance anyway. Ive kniwn people who couldn't really afford to live, working on projects that made ridiculous profits. Sorry, union too weak, cannot use to bludgeon me into the absolute shit show tgat is paying for media.

    Not from consumption. Most of that money is for execs/investors,

    Thats a pretty story, but completely unconnected to reality. If it worked like that, id be okay with it.

    Also, when you pay for stuff, abd like it, and want to revisit it later you usually cant. And that always makes me feel like a fool. I don't like feeling like a fool. I don't like paying to feel likeva fool. I don't like expecting a thing i like to be there then it not being there; that ruins my day. And the sheer fucking regularity of this makes. Me think it's going to keep happening.

    When you steal it, they cabt steal it from you, 'cuz they don't know you have it.

    And they invested knowing that piracy was a thing and figured that into their calculations regard to the risk vs potential return. If they didn't get that right and end up with a loss, well, that's capitalism for you.
