The window for helping filmmakers doesn't arrive for another 10 years.
Studies have shown we can make more money by dealing in high margin goods first, such as subersion of democracy, and then slowly introduce lower margin down the road, such as actually doing hard work.
Windows have been very successful for us, so we assume that success will continue without having to revisit our strategy.
Sounds like it's time to start having duplicate accounts. A real one that you actually use, and a dummy one that you don't use, but is populated with enough boilerplate info so that it could be considered real.
Just name, a few photos and a few likes/connections/maybe even friends.
Turn over the credentials to the decoy account.
Now, I fully disagree with these types of policies. The real solution is for the employer to not ask for this info, but as long as they're going to ask (and people need work), let's do what we can to protect ourselves.
It's time for your annual Brain Audit, analyzing all content of memory-augmentation devices to check for child porn, terrorist plots and copyright infringement.

Some people do think that search engines are fundamentally infringing. I'm certainly not one of them, but they are out there.
You ask "did they distribute?", but do alleged fileshares get the same benefit of doubt? If they don't distribute, is the copying (for themselves) okay?
Why do you claim it must all be paid for? I listen to a lot more music (radio, web streams, downloads, etc.) than I buy. I generally only buy the stuff I end up liking, after giving the album a try a couple times.
You have to try out lots of music to find new things you like. Downloading is just one channel by which you can do so, not really any different than the radio.

I'm on your side, but where are the municipal fiber rollouts actually blocked?
I'm familiar with cable/DSL franchises where muni's agree not to compete, but I think we should just throw those out the window.
Fuck em. Let's build our own network, owned by the people, and sell access back to Bell/Rogers if they want to use it (at the same rate as TekSavvy et al, of course).
So it effectively dramatically increases the monthly price to get a reasonable bandwidth allotment. Say, over 250GB, or ten times what Bell decrees is reasonable.
That $40 quickly becomes $80 to actually be _usable_ for services other than email and cat photos.
Of course, we could always just buy Bell satellite service instead of downloading TV shows, right? That would save us money in bandwidth... hmmm. Nevermind the pesky overpriced cable/sat rates.
We all know what this game is about, and its about Bell shitting it pants at the idea of people cutting the cable/sat cord and downloading video (legit or otherwise) without paying stupidly high Bell rent.
