Adult Swim making an unholy amount of sense.

The idea that film piracy “costs” anyone anything is fallacious, because it assumes that for every film you download, you would definitely have paid for it otherwise. Which just isn’t true. In most cases, you just wouldn’t have seen it.

Like if I download some film from 1974 that sounds cool, they’re assuming that I would have bought the DVD. But I wouldn’t have bought the DVD, I just wouldn’t have seen it.

And what about when you download foreign films that haven’t even been officially released in your country, how much does that “cost” the economy?

i would never pay money on suicide squad or batman v superman. If not for piracy i would have just straight up not seen it.
