So what funding model do you agree with?
Since you getting for free means somebody is paying otherwise more of what you consume won't be made.
So if everyone decided to torrent, there won't be a market.

Very very rarely does a movie not make money. Even flops make money years after release. The latest avengers movie cost 356m to make, including everyone's salary on the film. It made the studios 2.63 billion. There is no investment in the world that can give you that kind of return. Was that 2.3b in profit split among the cast and crew? Absolutely not. It was feasted upon by the executives of walt disney, those poor deserving souls.
Honestly I couldn't care less if Hollywood goes away with it's predictable formulaic cookie cutter focus-group movies.
It would be nice to see more movies where a director has an actual artistic vision and sees it through.
You don't need a billion dollars to make a movie with a good story, developed characters and good acting.
Look, if the companies are willing to look into a minimum wage and median salary when crafting prices for different countries, we might be easily convinced.
Do you know how much stuff you have available in Netflix? Now imagine having a choice between pirating and paying the same price as you do in a developed country for like 30% of the US catalogue. All that while earning much, much less.
Most people working a full time job barely have free time.
At the same time you talk about pirating so you feel entitled to have the fruit of other people's labour whilst saying it has no value. Gleeful in your hypocrisy.
Why are you on this website to discuss technology? Most things made are pointless rubbish going off your definition.
What do you do for a living that in your opinion is actually worth money?
