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 because many don't get paid upfront or only a tiny portion.
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.
And yes, #MovieProduction was #VentureCapital before #VC firms or even their founders existed!
And the fact that this #TaxAvoidance #tactic is still legal where they literally burn their OWN CONTENT to avoid paying #Restitutions and #writeoff #losses and thus steal #Taxes owed is the biggest problem.
And #ContentImpairment needs to be punished like arson and #AccountingFraud!
@vfrmedia THIS really grinds my gear:
IMHO there should be a "#FRAND-Clause" in #Copyright #laws around the globe, stating that if one's unwilling to sell / license at "fair, reasonable and non-discrimiatory" terms, their #Copyrights for #commercially licensed material gets canned.
@[email protected] 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!*](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/115294707102153936) 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 (#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!

@fennix Obviously #DisneyPlus solely exist because #Disney wants to have 100% of the #revenue and #profit of any of their #IP|s in #streaming.
Kinda like the #HyperScan…
