piracy would probably be extremely popular in america if most americans understood how creatives and such are compensated (or not) for their labor

"if you pirate this movie then you're taking money from the crew who worked on it!" is such a bizarrely common take, as if they ever see a fraction of the revenue that movies make and instead are usually exploited in their labor via predatory contracts and crunch.

a few years ago (like 2017-ish) I saw some disney adult dipshit make a super high-horsey post about how, paraphrasing, "yeah, we all agree that disney as a company sucks, disney executives suck, but what pro-piracy people don't understand is that when you pirate you're not taking money away from the company and the bigshot executives you wanna hurt, you're taking it from the employees who actually do all the work to make their movies" and to this day it legitimately astounds me how someone could so confidently say literally the wrongest thing anyone has ever said about anything. Like that's literally the opposite of how it works.

By the time a movie comes out, the only people whose paycheck is affected by how many sales it makes are the executives and studio heads, they're generally the only ones who stand to make money from it at that point. The cast and crew who actually did all the work on the movie? They already got paid. They've already made as much money from that thing as they're ever going to make.

That being said, I don't REALLY think that's the reason why piracy isn't more popualr in the first world. Piracy isn't more popular in the USA and the first world in general because, simply, people there are on average wealthier, which has created a culture where not pirating entertainment is the cultural norm.

The reason why places like Latin America, SE Asia, and Eastern Europe have a stronger priacy culture is not because people are more familiar with how production in various entertainment industires works (I'd bet the contrary is true) but because historic economic disadvantages have resulted in a culture where paying for a piece of entertainment you could be getting for free on the internet is seen as being a rube and getting ripped off.
