Lastly, $20 isn't much to pay for a movie, its less then 0.01% of the average American net worth. Actually since they still need to pay the same rent/ gas/ food as before they need to charge more per unit to make up the missed sales. And just because it is easy to steal creative work does not mean those making it need to give it away for free. Just because at the start of the internet people didn't take it seriously and gave away some professional content for free does not mean that is the future. And just because you might want our jobs doesn't mean we shouldn't get paid for them, just as every kid wanting to be an astronaut at some point doesn't effect their pay. Money is not going away and we, professional creatives, will still need it to survive. Just like in any other business we need to make that money back. We also have spent great amounts of money building our careers to the point where we can live off of our work. We also spend a great amount of our time doing work we don't get to bill (pitching, ideating, networking, self promoting, admin, etc). We are not employees we are not protected form the market and we have to pay all of the expenses normal employees are shielded from.

We make big chunks of money at once with no guarantee that we will ever make it again. Yes the numbers seem hight, but you simply don't understand the economics of living off creative work. Getting paid a fair value for our work is one of the largest obstacle to any creative. I work in film, its my primary source of income and I've worked in lots of other creative industries.
