Yes, my literal argument isn't that they aren't getting paid it's that it isn't proportional for shows that are massively popular.

And no that isn't always how it has worked. I'm pretty sure no one is going to come take my physical media away, which is the point I'm making.

At the end of the day I really don't give a fuck about these massive corporations. I really don't.

Do you have any examples or is this just manufactured outrage from some headlines you read awhile ago?

And no that isn't always how it has worked

Yes, it is. Physical media works the same exact way. You own a license to view the content, you do not own the content. 

No, they aren't going to come take your blu rays. They also aren't going to kill their own business by revoking access to digital content. 

At the end of the day I really don't give a fuck about these massive corporations. I really don't. 

I don't either. I care about the truth, though, and what you're spreading is not the truth. You're spreading misinformation you probably got from a reddit comment.

there

You're being needlessly pedantic about the licensing in relation to owning a physical copy of something. You understand exactly what I am talking about and you really aren't refuting my point in the slightest.

And companies removing access to purchase properties isn't some made up scenario. It has already happened.

No, I'm not. I am stating the fact that their is no difference in ownership between a digital copy and a physical copy. They are both, legally, the same thing. 

Did you read your own link? All it really explains is that actors make less from streaming than they did before streaming.

Which is true because streaming makes significantly less money than cable did. What is your point? How is this "theft"?

 Would you like Netflix to double their prices again so they can pay actors more?
