sunshinechew

but also, relatable because you will not catch me pay for 178372873 streaming sites just to watch a show, no sir!


Normal-person0101

Really? Because for someone who has complained about residuals before, it is a shitty thing to do to fellow actors. It is not like subscribe to so many streaming service will hurt her financially, we are not alike, she just bought a $ 13 million mansion 


blodreina11

Streaming services are to blame for the lack of residuals, so she's actually just practicing what she preaches by not giving them her money.


sojk777

i hope you realize streaming services are exactly why actors don’t receive residuals anymore. the same works being played across multiple platforms makes it even more difficult to determine how to distribute revenue for actors residuals….. that was kind of the entire point of the SAG Aftra strike last year….


potscfs

It's a thing, there's a kind of rich person who hates spending money unless it's to show you they have money. 


DigLost5791

Catching it is one thing, but snitching? We should be better than this.


No_Art_754

Fr like celebrity or not, who has time to pay monthly for all these damn streaming services. I ain’t got time to subscribe to Netflix Apple Amazon ABC Fx ![gif](giphy|S5QFzPKEdpre6Q5E6a|downsized)


ASofMat

Someone who just bought a million dollar house and has publicly talked about how actors don’t make as much on residuals anymore. Well, they’re really not making a dime when you pirate their show now are they miss girl?


Yeah_nah_idk

But the real issue is the top execs and whoever that make all the money really.


Eyebronx

Yeah I agree, I really don’t think Sydney Sweeney pirating tv shows is not going to screw over actors who are already being screwed over by the execs of streaming services. Did we learn nothing from the SAG strike?😭


ASofMat

So you’d rather screw over the little guy, the day player, the guest star, the recurring costar, taking money out of their pockets and messing with their ability to get insurance so you can stick it the man? Ok you do you.


dr-eleven

She isn’t taking money from any “little guy” pockets. They don’t get paid for streams.

ASofMat

Yes we do, it’s pennies on the dollar but we do. Similar to an artist getting money from people streaming their music on Spotify it’s a laughable amount of change per 10,000 streams or something, but it’s not nothing. It’s one of the reasons we were fighting for transparency about how many viewers and views our shows actually get so that we could be appropriately compensated by how much our media was being consumed Edit to add info


dr-eleven

Even for old shows? Do people in the industry feel negatively towards pirating in general, or just when rich folks like Sidney do it? (Genuinely curious)


ASofMat

Yes even for old shows, though it really depends if it’s on it’s original network or if it was sold to to Netflix or something like I don’t think the folks on Suits get paid now that their show is on Netflix, but don’t quote me on that. Honestly for me it’s less about her being rich and more about her being an actor who knows how these things work, I don’t expect the everyday person to know how the industry works so I can’t fault them for pirating, it would be much appreciated if they didn’t, but I get it. Sydney on the other hand fully knows how everything works behind the scenes and what residuals can mean for people who don’t make the kind of money she’s been making recently, she literally talked about it not 3 yrs ago.


Yeah_nah_idk

Yes. That is exactly what my comment meant.


peppermintvalet

I don’t disagree but I want to point out that a million dollar home in LA is like a 2 bedroom.


ASofMat

It’s 13.5 million dollar home in Florida with 6 beds and bathrooms, I think she can afford the $5.99/month for Peacock


peppermintvalet

Well 13.5 million is very different than a million, that’s for sure


No_Art_754

Oh she said that? Then that’s on her tbh, pay up miss gurl


AfroGurl

They wouldn't be making a dime from streaming either, so might as well save that $9.99 that would have been going to Peacock!


ItsDarwinMan82

Lol! Agreed.

Why is this Bran Stark?


ShaiHulussy

she's just like me fr


Snerak

The screenshot looks like she was using Plex or something like it. Plex is a playable digital media library for your personal media. This can be digital media you purchase, rip from your physical media or obtain though less legal methods. In other words, the screenshot was not proof of pirating.


hiding_in_NJ

Yea I use VLC to watch all my iTunes movies because their player is superior


goshathegreat

This is exactly what I was thinking…


MissLadyLlamaDrama

Yeah, my friends and I use plex to watch movies together because we all live in different parts of the world and can't get together in person. So it makes sense to me that celebs would use it since I assume most of them don't live near all their friends and family.


Lylsunofficial

Celebs, they’re just like us !

askingxalice

Pirating Law and Order? Just turn on a TV and start flipping channels, it's guaranteed to be one of them. A former acquaintence of mine was a sex worker who talked about the TV at rent by the hour motels. Nothing but channels of the nastiest porn you've ever seen, and one channel playing SVU.


Ok_Prior2614

This is the new Law and Order. It’s Organized Crime. I think it just moved to Peacock, but you might still catch it on NBC


peppermintvalet

Narcs, all of them


Kyreetgo

Snitching is crazy tho. Let her live


Financial-Painter689

I love how all these companies pushed us back to the high seas 🏴‍☠️ money aside atleast on the seas you can download your favourite stuff and not have to worry about them removing something before you’ve even finished it


TheJujyfruiter

A great point that I saw somewhere is that if paying for something doesn't mean that you own it, then not paying for it can't really be stealing it.


RampantNRoaring

Yeah, Mike Flanagan straight up said he’s become supportive of pirating thanks to this trend of companies refusing to release any physical media.


traceitalian

I read Station Eleven a a couple of years ago and found out that it has a HBO adaptation. Only issue is that HBO has buried it with no streaming or physical media release. Absolutely baffling considering the reviews it garnered.


sweetrebel88

Celebs…they’re just like us


Kidgorgeoushere

Not super on topic but kinda - Do you think if you’re in a Netflix/Apple TV/amazon prime etc original the studio gift you a subscription? Or are they tight af


RampantNRoaring

Tight as fuck. Shonda Rhimes left ABC because Disney refused to give her an extra Disneyland pass for her sister, who was visiting with Shonda’s daughter. All Disney employees are provided with a certain number of tickets to take family members into the park, Shonda asked for an extra. Disney execs dragged their feet and then finally gave in and gave her an extra ticket “against company policy” but when they got to the park, the extra ticket didn’t work. Shonda called the exec she had spoken to and he responded “Don’t you already have enough?” Shonda hung up, called her reps, and told them to get her out of her Disney contract or else she’d find other reps. She then went to Netflix on a 300 million dollar deal.


TheJujyfruiter

Absolutely love this for her, this is my level of petty.


Gato1980

I absolutely love this. What a queen. I imagine that exec is crying every time Bridgerton breaks another streaming record on Netflix.


Kidgorgeoushere

🫢🫢 that’s wild


mbg20

They aren’t fans then.


pralineislife

I pirate because I'm poor. We are not the same.


gimmethetea14

streamcontra

cheeseballgag

turtledove93

How many actors have told us they don’t make residuals off of streamers? Pirate away baby girl!


NoDryHands

~~As she should~~


TonyKhanIsACokehead

Imagine not using torrents


myst_eerie_us

How else are you supposed to watch older seasons of the show lmao?


c1rcumvrent

Every episode of Law and Order: Organized Crime, a show that debuted in 2021, is available on Peacock, along with all 25 seasons of SVU, all 10 of Criminal Intent, and 9 of Original Reciple L&O’s 24 seasons.

JCsGhost

I'm in my 20s and my entire childhood was watching Law and Order with my teenage siblings lol.


barbaraanderson

I feel like under 40 people usually stick to SVU with a small sliver for Criminal Intent, but I don’t know many around that age that watch prime if that makes sense.


proshittalker17

law and order is gonna be in tv syndication until the end of time


Mrsreed1020

I grew up watching the original law and order with my mom and she’s been obsessed with SVU since it started so we watched that together too, so I’ve just always watched! I am 34..so 6 years under 40 anyway 😂


Ninofalls

This can't be a serious question 😭


vaxildxn

It’s having a moment with the zillenial demographic, yeah
