Ah, but that’s the big lie. They CAN ride in private jets. But they CAN’T ride in private jets that have been dipped in gold that are fueled by virgin tears, and everyone who’s anyone knows that’s the only way to fly.
I was thinking the other day about the last push against piracy I recall noticing. The one where they say how many people worked on a film and if you pirate it you are stealing money from them.
I was thinking how that’s a lie. Based on what little I know about the industry, if you are seeing that film, then most if not all of the people who worked on it already got paid. The sound crew, special effects artists, gaffers, etc. aren’t working for ticket and dvd/digital movie sales. The ones who depend on that income are the investors, and anybody who managed to get a percentage of future income added to their contracts.
Pirating might impact the chances of a sequel (which I still doubt because the vast number of people aren’t pirates), but I’ve never heard of a studio going down due to pirates and not because their films sucked, or management was crap.
Unless I’ve come to an erroneous conclusion. If I have, let me know.
