“you’re pirating that show? don’t you wanna support the creators?” “I AM the creator.”
“haha the only way I can show future employers my work is to send a link to a bunch of pirated copies of it haha what a nightmare haha”
Different industry, but my first game industry project was doomed to fail. I put a lot of work into it before that though and so I stole a copy of the project to have in case I needed to prove work I’d done. I don’t know how often animations go under before being released but in the game industry it is a very real concern. Sometimes you have to take things for yourself or they’ll be gone forever
