I completely forgot to reply to this, apologies.
Ah so that's why there was a Starbucks and an Apple store in the background when Ned Stark had his head cut off in Kings landing, I had thought that was weird at the time....... turns out it's those pesky pirates fault. As for smaller budget/indie/unknown films, tv etc isn't it logical they would want to have as much exposure as possible? Ultimately if it's any good people will talk about it leading to more people to wanting to watch it and the next thing you know it's on netflix. Regardless of record levels of piracy movies are taking in record amounts at box offices around the world and that's not going to change anytime soon.
And some people choose to put it up on the internet for others to use.
That's not a better analogy its just plain fucking retarded. 1. The cherry picker is going to cost you a lot more than a match ticket so you would not save a few quid. 2 you are not going to get many people on the raised platform of a cherry picker so the club is not going to feel the pinch that way and 3. the cops would move you on before the game even kicked off.
Piracy has existed for a very long time now and the film and music industries are not collapsing. My argument stands, if you have read a book, watched a film, played a video game that you have not actually bought yourself then you have had the experience for free and are no different from someone streaming the latest episode of any tv show online.
