>>6875376>implying those people don't get fucked even if the business makes a profitCEOs need their summer homes and wine tasting festivals, after all. It' slike those bullshit MPAA or RIAA ads saying "if you pirate you're defrauding all the crew of each project,. not just the rich people" while they use bullshit accounting schemes and lies to keep much of the money even if a film does good while screwing over the little guys.
Know why we never got a Forrest Gump sequel? The studio actually claimed the movie LOST money, using garbage "Hollywood accounting" so they wouldn't have to pay the original author royalties! He refused to license the second book. Nowadays they just claim "piracy cost us money" even when it's shit like Bayformers that rakes in dough, so they can cheat the little guy.
Stores do this too, even with good sales they still cheat their workers.
Don't sit there and feed me bullshit about how this alone hurts the bottom rung. They get it regardless.
