The Millionaire Celebrities (or Why Piracy Isnt So Bad)

If theres anything thats been bothering me for over a year now, it's the money celebrities make. 
 
Hey guys, you know those million dollars we all dream of having? we work hard trying to earn? we participate in the lottery with our fingers crossed that we get them? and if we do, we'd blow up a small fucking country out of happiness and joy ? the million dollars you touch yourself while thinking about, and play the "what i would do with such an amount of money" game with your friends ?
 
Well, those pretty gals and boys, doing nothing but reading scripts and acting in movies with very comfortable conditions, they make those bucks that we'd suck a dick for, and they make them alot. 
Those sexy singers with the music videos and the glamour, doing nothing but write love songs that my asshole can write without thinking twice, and singing into a microphone just like we sing in the shower?  They make those millions too 
 
Are you catching my drift? those people, not any different from me or you except for a talent or a good voice, they make the big money and buy mansions and live like kings... what the FUCK? 
What right do they have to get our hard earned money and fill their bank accounts, while my and your hardworking fathers can barely keep the house running, even though they almost break their backs working for decades ? 
  
 

You see this cute boy and cute girl? they did NOTHING, and now they're millionaires.. Think about it, it'll blow your fucking mind.

Pirating games may be very controversial, but i'll NEVER think twice before downloading a movie or album from a fileshare website.  
You want me to purchase? drop the prices so that the maximum amount of money you make is 500K dollars. That way you make a living, i enjoy the content legally, and nobody gets filthy rich while they dont deserve it. 
Which leads me to the next point: when it comes to pirating games, there are several wealthy developers/publishers who deserve the same treatment as the rich movie/music companies.  
 

EDIT: 

 I just realized that all the people defending the hardworkers behind the scenes are pretty much doing this : 
 
They see a bunch of slaves working hard while their master rests in his villa, and what they do is leave the master alone (the company CEO, the celebs), and aid the slaves without changing anything about the fact that they're slaves (buy the products to help them make a living, while ignoring the fact that they are barely getting paid)..

 If we start pirating movies more,directors and the company associated to the movie will lose money and the fact that it would be hard to pay their budget making the movie - people buying their DVDs and going to theatres to watch the movie is the only thing to compensate their budget going over... there are plenty of movies that bombed in the box office because of people not watching that are good movies. 
 
I don't think celebrities get paid when you buy their DVDs, I think it goes to the company and the director though actors get paid but through salary wise from the director/company when they are creating the movie. 
 
Someone already explained Video Games and how piracy hurts them

 gotta love how the fact that the "hardworking people behind the shit" have a bad salary, is a given, to the people defending those hardworkers. 
"Hey, their bosses are gods in the skies that we cant deal with. we'll just pussy out and accept the bad salary because apparently our hard work isnt important enough for us to fix the problem from its roots, BUT DONT YOU PIRATE IT YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITE CUZ THOSE HARDWORKING EMPLOYEES HAVE TO MAKE A LIVING TOO!"

And who the fuck do you think you are!? They can only make 500K? WTF. Where did you pull that number from? your ass?  "
Yes actually i did. what am i a fucking accountant? i just pulled a random number that is relatively small, compared to the hundreds of millions they get spilled into their pockets

Before we end this discussion and never discuss anything again since each one of us clearly thinks of the other guy as a total stupid fucking douchebag (i have my standards which by, you're a slippery superficial asshole, and you have your standards which by im.. care to fill it in?) 
 One last question : does the phrase "all his music sounds the same" mean anything to you ?

This topic is retarded and here is why: 
 
If you take any business, lets say Best Buy, what is the executives job?  To make/sell product that consumers want.  When they do this, they create profit because the product they have is appealing and people are willing to spend $20 on it. 
 
Now lets take the same scenario and put an actor into it. 

Lets use Zack Efron as an example.  His job is an actor.  He gets paid to do his job which makes sense right?  His product is his acting, which he sells to get roles in TV or movies.  So as an actor, he needs to act well enough to get lead roles (ie make his product more appealing).  The more appealing his product, the more money he makes right?  If consumers are willing to pay to "use" his product he should get paid for that right?  
 
Whats the difference if Zack Efron makes $10 mill a year or a Best Buy CEO makes $10 mill a year?  Should you be able to steal an Ipod if you want because Apple is making to much money off it?  An actor is basically an entrepreneur, and they have every right to make endless amounts of money if they start a "good business" (ie acting career).  
 
Again, just because Apple makes millions on Ipods every year doesn't mean that its ok to steal them, they just had a great idea and now they sell that.

@Ahmad_Metallic: I don't think you're a total stupid fucking douchbag. I think you're trying too hard to be counter culture and, in this case, not very well versed in socio-economics. But anyway, 'all his music sounds the same' doesn't particularly stand out. Should it?

So if you were a popular business and earned a large number of customers and all the sudden they started saying "Why should I pay you? You are so popular that you make enough money." You would be totally fine with that? Bullshit.

Agreed.  The moral of the post is that Ahmad_Metallic's asshole is a lazy asshole.

Walk in to the store and shoot everybody at point blank range. 
 
I don't recommend doing that though.

@Ahmad_Metallic: I see what you're saying. It is distressing to see those who appear to do easy work make much more money than you. What must be understood, however, and, as it turns out, this will be far more intuitive than you expect, is that people are not paid according to how hard they work, how "good" their work is, or, most importantly, how much their work helps others/helps the human race. 
 
They are paid according to how many other peoplewant what they have, and how much they want it. 
 
It is important to note that God does not pay people, he does not assign salaries based on how good a person is, and you do not make more money because you work harder. You make more money if other people want something that you have. It's not magic. Every person you believe is being paid an unfairly high wage is being paid by somebody else. For example, for the High School Musical movies, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were paid by the Disney Corporation. Not a mysterious dark entity. The Disney Corporation is just a bunch of people in offices. In fact, (I just looked it up) it is a bunch of people in offices at 500 S Buena Vista St., Burbank, CA, 91521. They paid Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens a lot because they really wanted them in their movies, because they thought that a lot of other people wanted to see a High School Musical movie. So Efron and Hudgens got paid, and later, Disney, by virtue of being right about that belief, got paid too. 
 
Although this system may not produce results that are universally "fair", I think it's actually kind of comforting, because you know there's nothing to it but people. As soon as you figure out that it's all about people's wants, everything becomes much clearer.

I really only buy music or movies that I end up liking. I downloaded From Paris with Love, liked it. So I bought it. Honestly the only music I'll buy is Lady Gaga.

So basically this is a blog written by some jackass who is jealous of the fact that other people have talent while he doesnt have shit. My advice? Work hard, get a job you enjoy doing, and live comfortably. Fuck getting rich, why get rich when you can have a job that you like, get married to a girl you love, and just live you life. Most celebrities are miserable or hopped up on some kind of drug.  
 
Your argument on piracy fails, dont hate on people because they can do something you cant.
