This is what I do with movies. I still, to this day, do not understand what possible purpose studios have for including 3 minutes of copyright warnings and other bullshit ahead of movies that people paid for. Pirates don’t see any of that shit, morons, and the people who are ripping these films already are ignoring the warnings. What the hell?

You would think that in 40+ years of being completely ineffective against pirates and only hurting paying customers they would have learned that that time and money could be better spent elsewhere, but I guess that would imply that the rich are rich because they make good decisions, instead of just being born with good options

Ooh, I usually say luck and timing is what the rich had, but I like "being born with good options" too. Makes more sense since even with luck and timing, still need the means.

Pirates a movie, includes copyright warning on the pirated copy, include a note to say they're including it in good spirit of the producers wishes

This. It's like "Let's wreck the paying customers! Ha ha, that will show those pirates."

WTF?
