>Piracy is only bad if you want to earn money for each eye watching a minute of a movie. What we're doing right now is piracy, no one pays anyone anything for content

This is utterly nonsensical. You've invented a new definition of piracy to try to claim that streaming services are piracy.

Specifically at this point:

>no one pays anyone anything for content

This is literally factually incorrect. Netflix pays billions per year to copyright holders. Just because it's indirect payment in the form of a subscription doesn't mean you're not paying for the right to view content.
