i dont know what you're seeing as backpedaling since i re-summarized the exact point i was making and even included a handy guide to help you read better.
> there is more to the industry than a list celebrities and studio execs and key grips and best boys.
nobody is on the other side of your argument. we know there are people behind the scenes. they are workers, not leprechauns. everyone believes they exist.
> Theater workers don't get paid by movie studios they are paid by you the movie goer.
obviously they AREN'T paid by me or this discussion would be moot.
the fact that they are trying to cling to a job market that is fading out of existence isn't any concern for me. the same way i don't really care about the people who used to service pay phones. you either change the way the industry is run to fit the market or your industry fades into obscurity. if you are demanding that people start hindering progress so you can keep your job then just go on welfare so the rest of us can move on.
> the ups driver that brings you the DVD you ordered online.
he'll still keep his job delivering external hard drives that i order on amazon, because his industry is flexible,at least until drones start delivering things. then he has a choice to either stomp his feet and demand people stop using a faster, easier, more efficient method of delivery... or he learns to fly delivery drones
> The system admin the runs the website you view the movies on.
i thought you don't like that guy because he's cutting into the profits from the guys who work at the movie theater. either way, he gets paid with ad revenue and sometimes a very reasonable subscription fee that costs the price of a couple movie tickets for an entire year's worth of entertainment
> Your understanding of the entire system is incredibly narrow so I don't think you have authority to tell anyone who piracy hurts.
I understand it just fine, i just don't care. either get with the times or get left in the dust. it's not my job to take care of your mismanaged antiquated business model, nor is it anyone else's
EDIT: i just wanted to mention that "you just don't understand" is an argument a teenage girl makes when she can't get a ride to the mall, someone who actually has points that haven't been refuted usually brings them up. you could try this book or if you don't have 63 bucks to view a single piece of information once or twice, you can always try downloading it
