I’m not sure that holds. First off, the multi-billion dollar corporations spending money on advertising and influencers will have more of an impact than fans ever will. Second, the more of us in the fandom who don’t support giving JKR money, the more openly accepting and encouraging the fandom becomes of piracy. True fans are always the best pirates; they spread it farther, are more likely to get it into the hands of people who would otherwise buy the product, and take more care with the rips/formatting/etc, making the product higher quality. Third, because of those billion dollar corporations, and the number of books and movies sold, Harry Potter is not going away in our lifetimes. I have no intention of allowing people I hate to control the dialogue around it. This isn’t like Twitter, where the owner can just delete views he doesn’t like, so our only choice is to leave. JKR doesn’t control any of the fandom spaces like Archive Of Our Own or any of the fan forums. And if she tried, they’d fight back. I would agree with you completely if the only way to participate in Harry Potter was to sign up on JKR’s website and take part in discussions controlled by JKR. But that’s not the case. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that we can’t control the behavior of others. But if the anti-JKR diehards focused on making piracy easier than giving JKR money in every case, Harry Potter would actually be more likely to go away quicker. If the corporations can’t make money off it, they’ll drop it. And giving people what they want for free will always work better than trying to force them into a mass boycott and to give up something they actually want.
