Larry Nemecek — Dr. Trek!HAPPY BIRTHDAY @jvancitters.bsky.social whom I first knew as an “admiral” in #Viacom Trek licensing but now sails as VP of #StarTrek Brand Development for #Paramount — and here, a long overdue visit at #SDCC. Trek folk owe so much to the glue JVC has provided since 1998!

@mrmasterkeyboard what makes #piracy even morally justifyable is when there are no legal means to obtain a physical copy and/or stream it...
- And whilst #delistings occur because a #StreamingService doesn't want to continue #licensing at the existing terms from the licensee, this is absurd when the IP holder & licensee IS THE SAME AS THE STREAMING PLATFORM IT'S BEEN DELISTED FROM!
Like it's one thing when a #FreeTV station (like #SuperRTL) doesn't want to pay rising #licensing fees for certain shows when the IP holders (i.e. #Disney & #Viacom) decide to put it on their own non - #PayTV / #FTA - Stations (i.e. #DisneyChannel / #DisneyXD & #Nickelodeon) but delisting own content just to circumvent the pre - agreed-upon residual payments to cast & crew which are a cut of the #revenue of said show is just an absolute asshole move!

Also #delisting #WestWorld is an absolute #DickMove and doing so should make #HBO unable to ever hire anyone working for them, because they violated a *de-facto unwritten rule in #ShowBiz*, and that is [*paying staff based upon success*](https://youtu.be/H6Oac6mtytg?si=aIIwH2cVLvUV00-5&t=294) because many don't get paid upfront or only a tiny portion. - Oftentimes the same #actors and #directors are also *invested* in a show or movie, if not coughing up substatial amounts of the financing to the point that they can keep a series afloat when the studio is having issues (*looks at 2000s MGM in anger and disappointment*)... And this ain't limited to big budget productions, but is normal down to theaters, where actors sometimes get paid their cut of the ticket sales post-play. - This is in part due to the financial #risk of said productions and also to incentivize top acts to stay and perform their best. And yes, #MovieProduction was #VentureCapital before #VC firms or even their founders existed!
