      this is actually so true, if you cant own stuff even if you pay for it then what's the point in paying for it, you aren't paying to own it so even if you pirate it you still don't own it but you aren't paying basically a fee for being able to watch it or play it

    As an adult re-watching this, they literally glorified every single thing. The dramatic download bar like it's mission impossible, the bombastic music, the leather jacket thief, the faceless suit and tie crook, it looks like some epic heist movie rather than deterring anyone from piracy. What the hell were they thinking? 😂

      Apart from the fact that thousands pirate movies from indie studios that are barely making it through, taking money off larger studios makes the whole film industry poorer, meaning that the indie or daring films are the ones that won't get funding. And that's all apart from the fact that it gives money to the sort of people who often also run dark web websites with child porn or selling black market stuff. Preserving films is a worthy effort, but piracy is not.
