I get that, but I will say that I think it's sad that you are missing out on art you are interested in just because of capitalism. Using a VPN and sailing the high seas isn't very complicated and they are not losing out on any money since you wouldn't have bought it in the first place, so morally I think it's fine. Actually you consuming the art, liking it, and suggesting it to other people who might buy it could be considered leaving the artist with more money than had you never consumed the piece of art.
We do miss a few things but not that much as my spouse and I are much more into works that will challenge us, not make us feel right/validated or whatever along those lines that seem to be so trendy.
Plus, there are so many great things to watch on DVD and books to read, more than enough to occupy every second of whatever time we have left on this planet would we ever want to do just that ;)
A bit like there are many paintings I will never have the opportunity to see IRL, that's fine. I can appreciate so many already.
That's a fair enough take as well :)
