Part 4: The Ethics of Streaming "Pretty Baby" on OK.ru

Watching Pretty Baby on OK.ru is undeniably piracy. But the ethics here are more complex than simply stealing Avatar.

The Argument for Streaming it on OK.ru:

Preservation: Paramount has abandoned the film. If not for these bootleg uploads, a major piece of New Hollywood cinema would be lost to the average viewer.
Scholarship: Film students and historians need to see the film in its original context to understand the controversy surrounding child actors in the 1970s.
The Shields Perspective: In her 2022 documentary, Brooke Shields (now an adult) states she does not regret Pretty Baby, nor does she want it hidden. She sees it as a document of her mother’s ambition and the era’s naivete. She has not called for its suppression.

The Argument Against:

Exploitation Loops: Every time the film is watched, the voyeuristic dynamic is recreated. Critics argue that watching a pirated copy on a Russian social media site does not negate the fact that an 11-year-old was sexualized for the camera.
Financial Harm: Louis Malle’s estate does not see a penny from OK.ru streams. If, one day, a legitimate restoration occurs (perhaps via Criterion Collection), the market for it will be smaller because everyone already has the Russian bootleg.
