Cannot believe this has to be said but for crying out loud, don’t bootleg Starkid content.
Especially don’t bootleg content that was specifically behind a paywall.
Especially don’t have “fuck you Starkid this ain’t gonna be just for backers” in the description.
Starkid posts all its musicals for free (FOR FREE!) on YouTube, something that is INCREDIBLY generous of them. This means that that’s where they get a chunk of their profit from.
Now for something like Workin Boys, that was locked behind a paywall. Why? Because it was for people who supported them with profit. For a large company, I can understand this being a frustration. But Starkid is not a large company. They are, in fact, a very small company.
When you take something they got profit out of and uploaded it for people to watch for free, that means that they aren’t getting that money. That means there will be NO MORE things like Workin Boys.
If you wait, there’s a good chance Starkid will release it on YouTube eventually. On THEIR channel, where they can profit off of it. If you take advantage of them, they will not do fun things for us.
