Oh, I agree, it's entertainment. It is entirely unimportant stuff. So, again, why are people being driven to bankrupcy and the big fat cats are trying even to send them to jail for entertainment? It's not like people are taking other people's food or water isn't it?
Exactly. It's fine that it's entertainment, and that in some opinions is worthless. It's not fine to ruin people's lives (not owning a computer is no defense!) because of it.
"I could do so much more with my car if I could simply quit paying heed to the lug nuts by ripping them out and doing whatever else may be useful to have my tires meet my unique needs."
Exactly. Just not liking that downloading isn't theft doesn't mean that it isn't theft. There are plenty of other things that mean that it isn't theft.
Just like, just because you don't like flying pigs doesn't mean that pigs can't fly. Pigs can't fly because of things like aerodynamics, gravity, etc.
"I'd like to keep working as a union grip, making $22.00+ an hour, with health benefits, able to support my family at a fair standard of living, like the other 350,000 or so professional film workers supported by this legacy industry."
Well, I'm sure that if the movie making industry ever goes belly up, you'll be able to find another work gripping something else. Just like if tomorrow the car industry went belly up, all those welders would find jobs welding in some other industry.
