Nah, screw the law. Just stick within ethical limits and we're clear. If my bestie asked me to murder a dude, I would say no, but if she asked me to punch a cop, then it's cop punching time.
Comedy is the quickest to age, and the most likely to age poorly. I'd pick Citizen Kane.
Also, I'd basically never watch movies again. I'd watch plays, TV shows, web videos... I'd listen to radio, play video games, read books... And I'd curse whatever god took the Princess Bride away from me.
They don't know they're pushing for regression, but that's what it is. And a fool can cause as much chaos as a villain.
I've worked in programming for long enough to know that one person's bug is often a security feature, or a feature someone else literally can't work without. Sometimes, they're the one that asked for it. If that gets rolled back, it would cause regression issues and that's literally what they're called.
Humans are that friend who's friends with two people who absolutely hate each other. Dwarves and elves both loudly praise humans in a way that makes it clear it's just a dig at each other. They don't actually like humans, they just hate each other enough to put up with them. Humans are uncomfortable at being in the middle of the feud, but also secretly like the attention too much to put a stop to it.
When I was in university, I watched a movie online using alternative means that I had been kind of interested in, but never went to see. I then watched it again. Then I went out and bought a DVD.
A little after that, I watched a lets play of a game that basically gave the entire experience in a single watch. I liked the game enough that I bought it immediately and just let it sit on my steam library without an install, just so the creator would receive their dues.
A year or so ago, I got a game through a charity bundle and wound up playing hundreds of hours of it. Since the creators got no money from my purchase, I bought merch, and waited for DLC to come out for me to buy instantly, just so they'd get something from me.
Recently, a AAA studio let go a bunch of creators while their game was wrapping up, essentially punishing them for a job well done. The creators will get nothing if I buy the game they made, but the studio that screwed them over will get everything. Just like I always have, I will give as much as they deserve to receive.
We can't shift back to normal. It was never normal. It was just a different flavour of crazy. Sure, it's easier to see this new crazy, but it's also more honest. Sliding back is nothing but regression, and THAT scares me.
Texas has a bigger population than Australia. In fact, it would be 51st largest population and 40th largest area in the world if it split off from the USA.
There are many ways to keep a witness from identifying you. You just need to be creative.
