A more honest analogy for the situation was that there are very few incidents of circuses doing that and now people demand it's morally justified to get free entrance to every circus, concert, fair, museum, ....
"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me" though, right?
It's not just a few circusses. Every major circus company seems to consistently pull this trick.
But people aren't just sharing media that is affected. They pirate everything, even when there are ways to buy and own it.
"Some people speed on roads, so all roads are bad."
This conversation is about media you can't buy and own.
