Where am I gonna insert a disk into, my MacBook, my Apple TV? Didn’t they make disk media obsolete. Why not use those funds and resources on marketing your platform, and building out content.
I don't think that's true. Pretty sure Blu-ray is 1920x1080.I know it's hard to believe, but Blu Ray goes up to 4k....
Yep, watch a collection of old 70's-90's movies that are not on streaming.People still have optical disc players? I can’t imagine watching 480p content in 2021 🤷♂️
Never said it’s cheap, and still a Blu-ray ( never said it’s the same player either), the point is, it’s def not 480 as the original poster suggested.I don't think that's true. Pretty sure Blu-ray is 1920x1080.
4K Ultra HD Blu-ray can do 3840x2160, but that won't play on a blu-ray player. It requires a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player, which, beyond the absurd prices, is poorly supported and is overflowing with DRM.
No. It's not 480. And no, it's not cheap.Never said it’s cheap, and still a Blu-ray,the poin it’s, its def not 480 as the original poster suggested.
in my country, Disney suddenly took away ALL Disney and soon later Fox movies from the iTunes store, seemingly to "force" people to subscribe to Disney+ (which I'll never do now after this..) So... blame the massive companies for needing this to exist..MORE plastic for the world in 2021? Shame.

Agree, it was one of my top shows last year. I thought the acting was magnificent & the writing was superbFunny... To me it was one of the best TV shows I've ever watched.
Each to their own, but I suffered through this, and have to say it was dreadful. The writing was poor and the plotting made little sense. Save yourself, by not watching it.
Can a digital download be disabled? Do you mean DRM content? I’m sure most iTunes content isn’t protected by DRM anymoreI continue to buy DVDs/Blu-rays because then I own the content. With streaming, I have to subscribe to the service that has it at that particular moment. A digital download could be permanently disabled at the whim of the content owner.
As for the cost, I never pay full price. I wait until it's on sale and look for bargains at remainder houses such as Hamilton Book.
Yes, it can. https://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-digital-content-20160513-snap-story.html has a good overview of why and how.Can a digital download be disabled? Do you mean DRM content? I’m sure most iTunes content isn’t protected by DRM anymore
I did say "my country"...This hasn’t happened to me?
They can’t do that with DOWNLOADED DRM-free content. That would be impossible. If you’re using an Apple TV box to stream it, then that makes sense. Plus, the article was written when most iTunes Store content (films and tv shows) was still protected with DRMYes, it can. https://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-digital-content-20160513-snap-story.html has a good overview of why and how.
I hope so for the folks who paid for that content. But I wouldn't put anything past a company. Where there's a will, there's a way.They can’t do that with DOWNLOADED DRM-free content.

Funny, because I have The Black Hole on DVD.......there are some old movies that I have never seen on any streaming service. The Black Hole (1979) has also never had a DVD release.
Get yourself a PlayStation or Xbox. Then you can play some exclusive games and watch movies!Where am I gonna insert a disk into, my MacBook, my Apple TV? Didn’t they make disk media obsolete. Why not use those funds and resources on marketing your platform, and building out content.
I have it either on DVD or Blue-ray. Can’t remember which exactly at the moment. If I had to guess DVD, and it’s in a red case.Funny, because I have The Black Hole on DVD....
The thought of buying physical media in 2021 strikes me as rather odd, however there are some old movies that I have never seen on any streaming service. The Black Hole (1979) has also never had a DVD release. Hardware (1990), thankfully I have this on DVD and Blu-ray.
Good question. The only reason I can think of is to attract people who otherwise might not consider ATV+. "I liked the book, and the DVD was pretty good. Maybe I should check out ATV+ to see if it has other stuff I'd like."Why would a struggling streaming service do this?
what? ... so they are not now? 😳They can’t do that with DOWNLOADED DRM-free content. That would be impossible. If you’re using an Apple TV box to stream it, then that makes sense. Plus, the article was written when most iTunes Store content (films and tv shows) was still protected with DRM
I don’t think so. I got told randomly by Apple Support when I asked them about a purchase a couple of years ago. Of course, in order to take advantage of them being DRM-free, you need a computer. They probably did it without an announcement because streaming is on the rise as people appear to be less bothered about “owning” content & I bet the usage of the iTunes Store is decreasing all the time. If everyone is paying a subscription to access content anyway, they’ll be less bothered about DRM.what? ... so they are not now? 😳
