    I mean, some subscription services do pay the IP owners, but many times it is at a reduced rate. The best thing that you can do to support your favorite studios is buy bluray releases and merch direct from the studio, or as direct as possible.

    Pirating doesn’t directly pay studios, but if you pirate and then buy bluray/merch, the studio is definitely getting more of your money than if you were paying for a subscription service.
