    I’m sorry, how do the artists get paid when you pirate?

    my guy, they were already paid for their time, this isn’t a small indie production.

        the studios that originally produced the content, the people that are paying for streaming services, and if it’s a movie, the box office earnings.

        And physical media sales, if any.

          So, in summary, their income comes from people buying their stuff. So I ask again, how do artists get paid when you pirate? Or is your stance that you want the artists to get paid, you just want other people to do it for you?
