My point is that they will make less profit if they are forced to.
If they stop making products at all, then they make no money.
People already work way harder than them for significantly less, so it's definitely do-able.
People just need to have higher standards, which you are proving they don't.
I can tell. It's in response to your hyperbole, "Is it your hope that they will stop producing media for you to watch?" You are arguing that if they make less profit, then they won't make media at all which isn't true.
If people had higher standards for what they spend their money on, businesses would have to meet those standards or go out of business. They can, they would just make less profit.
That means more money for you and me.
You really should study basic economics. It's sad watching you laugh and dismiss facts because they describe how you're being taken advantage of.
Lol, Mark Twain was right.
Anyways, it's your money. Spend it how you want. :)
