It's not my fault you didn't understand my very clear point. You can read it again if you want.
I just told you... They may get the money for the job, but if the industry they work on isn't generating any profits because everyone is sharing the content, then the industry dies and so does the demand for these specialized workers.
Is that too hard to process?
The reason why those industries aren't dead is precisely because pirating is illegal and a criminal activity which makes most average consumers want to get the products legally.
If those industries die that's great. The only ones left will be the people who actually want to be there rather than the ones who are only after money.
We have a really easy example. I want the social media industry to die so here I am on Lemmy. If Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and so on die that is a positive. Then the only thing left will be the free and open fediverse run by volunteers.
So, do you think the developers that created Lemmy don't get paid real money from real industries that actually monetize their products?
