Have I “earned” 10.1tb of the Disney+ content that’s currently populating my hard drive?
How would one theoretically go about helping Disney create multiple dislocated backups of their best movies and tv shows in case their server breaks and we lose Pocahontas 2 forever?
Whenever you see a copy of Hocus Pocus in a thrift shop pick it up
I’ve been grabbing thrift store dvds and ripping them for the past few months. Cancelled Netflix recently and I don’t miss it. I can’t believe some of the things I’ve found, too. I live in a small town and I found the entire 90s Sailor Moon English dub on dvd at my local thrift store.
Someone in your town made a very difficult decision, or something terrible happened
One could potentially search for “trash guides” and browse through the results.
Usenet or private trackers should do the trick.
Considering that Disney was the main lobbyist in the US Congress for increasing Copyright period length (and hence severelly and one-sidedly cut the quid pro quo of Copyright legislation which is that Society gets those works as Public Domain after for some years enforcing the limitation on the copy of those copyrighted works) from it’s original 20 years to Death Of Author + 70 years (which in general adds up to around 150 years and means nobody will ever see the works that were popular in their youth become part of the Public Domain), people have not just earned the right of getting copies of Disney’s works without paying for them, they even have the moral high ground when they do so - you’re really just taking backs the proceeding of Crime, though as Disney bough the Law, this is one of those situations were the Crime is De Facto but not De Jure.
Did you put in marginal effort and count on past successes to continue to pay off with this 10 TB, cuz if so, you and Disney’s CFO seem to have matching definitions of “earned”.
Yes.
Not even going to read the article but I’m going to go with “no, no they didn’t earn the price hike.” To me, to “earn” a price hike means new features or better functionality with the current platform, not just spamming me with mediocre content. Give me higher bitrate streaming, lossless audio, better ways to organize my watchlist, better desktop/laptop experience, etc, then MAYBE it’ll be worth paying a bit more to me.
Right? Prices for delivering the same service should go DOWN over time. What we have is industry-wide price fixing.
They fix rents and wages too lol
But it is all legal because algos did it!
Yeah, bring the features… I think in the 4 years of being with Hulu they only had 1 redesign but still no new features and definitely never fixed any of the bugs that have been here forever. I really wanted to see some improvements to more 4k content and feature some of the live tv broadcasts in 4k but nope.
I finally canceled the over priced live tv and today’s the last day before it’s gone. $85 bucks a month is just not worth it. Found another service that offers a lot of channels for $8 a month and my wife only wants 1 local station so $7 for that. Knocking $85 down to $15 is a big win. I don’t think I will be the only one if they really think they can raise prices like that. Glad I’m done with them.
What is this mysterious “other service”
Friend’s wife wants to know. We’re bored in bed
I stumbled on it by accident so I am not sure if it will be great, but it offered enough stuff that she wanted (I could care less about live tv!) That were going to give it a try. It’s called frndly tv and looks like it’s $10 a month or $8 if you pay for the year. It has a week trial so I guess we’ll see if it’s decent. The other one we saw was Philo but I think that was $25 and offered more channels but nothing more that we wanted that the first option didn’t have. Neither offer local channels which is why we’re also getting Peacock as well.
All they’ve earned is the cancellation of my subscription.
Disney has earned…
*fires up VPN*
…oh, yeah I don’t really know this ‘Disney’ fellow, but he sounds like a popular guy. What were we talking about? Anyway, I’m gonna hit the ol 'tube for a bit to wind down before bed. Have fun y’all!
Disney has earned everyone going back to piracy
The consumers will be the judge.
How about he earns a giant pay cut.
With how absolutely garbage most of their shows have been, I wholeheartedly disagree.
No, that’s not correct.
I like that the picture is from Secret Invasion. I might have gotten to episode 3? I can’t remember, I was probably looking at my phone.
