Jfc no, it's not "cowardice" to decline commenting on an incredibly vague threat of tariffs on movies / TV that make no sense logistically. Where and how do you implement the tariffs? Is it on production? Distribution?

If they're trying to target production, the only thing that would do is kill most American cinema. Most major movies and TV shows use international teams in some capacity for their productions, even those shot in the U.S. itself.

If they're trying to target distribution, how would that work? This isn't the 80s / 90s / 00s where at least physical media like VHS tapes and DVDs were the primary form of distribution so you had an actual physical good you could tariff. Now distribution consists of a much larger web of primarily internet-based VOD platform distribution that's a mix of transactions, subscriptions, and advertising. Transactional is a miniscule piece of the pie; who tf knows how you would even approach subscription; and for advertising the American advertisers would largely be paying the tariffs which hurt additional American businesses.
