To quote your ggp:

And your gp:

And your parent:

So... why are we talking about re-uploading again as if downloading was the same thing?

I never said all downloads are hurting content creators. I am saying if it was not possible to download them, the creators would be better off.

Sure, and if companies wouldn't have to pay taxes, they would make more money.

If perfectly legal, permissible, expected and ethically justifiable behaviour hurts your bottom line, your business model is broken, not your customers.

No, because if it were not possible to download them, it wouldn't be possible to watch them in the first place.
