This still baffles me, but I guess it's good for federation?

@erogenouswarzone piracy isn't the reason why there's product placement was my point, since it occurred from the start of Public Relations and the practice of earned media and payola. Eliminating piracy wouldn't affect product placement, and claiming so sounds like those ignoramuses who say if minimum wage is increased that jobs would be automated away - min wage has remained the same for over a decade and jobs are being automated anyway, jobs will be eliminated regardless of min wage laws
@erogenouswarzone similar to product placement, it's not done by production companies because piracy is occurring, it's down regardless of the state of piracy to maximize profits. Labor scarcity goes away when wages reflect the demand and profit maximization is disregarded; movies disregarding profit maximization would then not have product placement and it's not a function of piracy, that's just the scapegoat for things to take place of the profit maximization. Profit motive≠profit maximization
