Now that's where you become arrogant and start to act like the artist is indebted to
you. Trust me, it's bullshit. People pay the artist because without them our world would
be boring as hell. People turn on the free TV today and have a hard time realizing
what it took to make that happen and therefore "take it for granite". It took money to
make free TV happen and that's why you have to watch the commercials.
Get over yourself, we don't need you, we need the artist and creators.

It's nonsense in the same way that paying for pussy in nonsense.
If a MoFo is willing to pay, then charge them!!
And once again you dive into arrogance; as if anyone is fucking looking at you "all over the place" to even read a logo on your shirt.

It sure doesn't because the movie/game/music is the entire product and not a sample.
Neither are destroyed once used, thus requiring the purchase of another, as with food.
"Hey, here's a free burger because you will be hungry again tomorrow and buy a burger".
But that doesn't work with the movie/game/music, they are all reusable tomorrow again
for free.
