Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

" Some of this piracy (and make no mistake, that’s what it is) "
Says who? What authority does this writer have to declare blurry, poor audio quality shakey cam video of a movie theatre screen with dozens of people singing in the foreground "piracy"?
From my perspective, piracy would be taking and selling (or personally viewing in place of paying and viewing) something someone else made. None of these videos are meant to replace seeing the movie, nor will they.
I cannot wait to see Wicked, I've seen the musical 4 times in my life. Except there is no way I'm going to watch a movie in a theatre setting with other randos singing or generally being shitty people.
Am I cobbling together all the tictoc clips and watching that? No. Because that's not the product they are selling. I'll wait for it to come out on streaming.
These videos are not piracy.
I saw it last Sunday at Alamo Drafthouse Theater. The audience was well behaved.
