That sounds like a very different point than "media sharing is not a problem". And for what it's worth I don't think you're wrong - there are plenty of talented independent artists who share their work for nothing and accept donations. No need to buy entertainment from giant corporations.

But it's important to remember that it's a social thing to be able to talk about the latest whatever. Not keeping up does cost a certain something; whether that something is valuable to you personally is another question again.
