We’ve talked before about the moments in these films where you can feel the meetings, you can feel the studio executives sweating. There is a kiss in this film that comes out of precisely nowhere, and you can feel the studio executives getting all sweaty, saying, ‘Y’know there’s a lot of long lingering looks between Cap and Bucky. Don’t you think this is gonna freak out the fanboys? Can we just, mush his face into some woman’s face at some point, can we just do that?’ And it happens.

if Broadway doesn’t want bootlegs floating around then they need to get their act together and make legal recordings.  you can say all you want that theater is meant to be enjoyed live, but the fact of the matter is not everybody can get to NYC to go to a Broadway show.  not everybody can afford to take the time off of work and buy a plane ticket to NYC and buy a night in a hotel AND get the ticket to the show.  people want to see the shows, that’s why there’s a bootleg market in the first place, but it’s unreasonable to expect that everyone has the time, money, and ability to make it out to the one place in the world to see something on Broadway, especially if it’s a limited engagement.  so record that shit, slap some subtitles on it, and sell it so we can buy it legally.

Reblogging this every time I see it. Copyright is important for creators but it should not support cultural elitism. Affordability and accessibility of cultural content is key unless we want to live in a very divided society.
