Of course it doesn’t. I never implied that it did. That was not the point I was making. Your conflation of this situation with that of assholes releasing private photos of celebrities is absurd, and your implication that I would support such a thing is insulting.
Obviously, nobody is entitled to free use of a celebrity’s time, or any possible monetary gain from having taken that time. Lucas can give, sell, or refuse autographs as he sees fit, and nobody is entitled to pass judgement on him for doing so. But in the first video where Lucas is lecturing the autograph hounds, he’s not dismissing them on those perfectly reasonable grounds. He’s dismissing them because he thinks they’re lazy do-nothings with no ability to make their own way. He’s dismissing them because he actually believes that he has eleventy billion dollars in his pocket only because of his glorious talent and paramount work ethic, and not at all because he was able to go to film school at USC for for $1500/year instead of $51000, and not at all because he was a white dude in Hollywood at exactly the right time and place to get very very lucky.
Lucas can give, sell, or refuse autographs as he sees fit. His reasons for whining about it demonstrate that he’s an entitled, arrogant ass. Just as the autograph hounds aren’t entitled to judge him for not wanting to give out autographs, he’s not entitled to judge them for not being lucky enough to be one of the richest people in the world. And if he’s stupid enough to keep giving away something he claims is worth $200, he’s not entitled to be huffy when people keep asking him for it.
