MODERATORS
I honestly can't tell if you're trolling.
Also, "limiting their consumption to the occasional worthwhile thing" can also be written as:
"spend their well-earned time actually watching something worth the investment"
And "they might even assuage their guilt by paying for it..." as:
"if they find content they enjoy, they'd like to show that monetarily and hopefully boost the production of more content of that same caliber"
I just want those large, deep pocketed, sue-happy corporation's legal teams to know I'm a good consumer that never violates DMCA or other intellectual property laws: it's wrong. I mean, that's what they say and obviously we should trust them.
I can't imagine much worse than violating the inalienable rights of amoral multi-billion dollar industries, except maybe bragging online about it afterwards.
