You have not met the staff of these orgs. It is actually not exaggeration to say they live in a media bubble where their studio chiefs are captains of industry that are infallible and are to be served with total fealty.

I once sat in a meeting where some VP at a major client asked (because they were technically daft) if it was possible -in not so many words- DDOS google because "they (google) have all this infringing content on their site"

I had to tell me boss "is anyone going to explain to that guy that what he's describing is A. not realistic and B. not legal?"

Harvey Weinstein was taken down. I wonder if others will be.
