MODERATORS
They get paid, they just don’t get residuals for life from every job they were paid to do.
Just read an article stating that the writers of a show were only paid a combined $3000 after the show was streamed over 16 million hours on Netflix. These companies try to crack down on piracy by claiming artists/writers/actors don't get paid if we pirate but they're clearly not getting paid anything outside their normal wages when we don't pirate either.
