it’s really horrible to see broadway stars pull down bootlegs. they don’t know what people are going through or their situation. someone might not be able to afford a trip to new york or even afford a show. broadway as a whole is so expensive for many people, and just to...
dismiss it is insensitive. and the argument that ‘people won’t go out to see shows’ is faulty too. everyone that watches bootlegs would 100% rather watch it live. watch it where you can experience the emotions live. however, again, you don’t know people’s situations...
anybody is definitely entitled to their own opinions and thoughts on things. and don’t dismiss someone or basically talk over someone to try to prove your point. and to be stricter on bootlegs right now is horrible as well. the time where broadway is shut down basically...
indefinitely because of this whole pandemic is difficult to comprehend. broadway is going to be one of the last things open, and to take down entertainment that many people enjoy because broadway is closed is astounding. broadway will survive this pandemic, but the rules have...

no bootlegs have been taken down as of currently since this situation started, but they probably will be because broadway stars are speaking out against them.
