I always see people stating this, but I don't get it. It seems you have to have a ton of your own ripped videos or content for this to be of any value. Disney apps etc shows are not publicly available so unless your just pirating content plex seems very limited for Most users. Maybe im wrong.
There is zero chance libraries would be legal if they were invented today. Straight up piracy 🤣A lot of people have old discs and Blu-rays lying around (or borrowed from libraries). And yeah others just pirate it. Disney actually makes most of the big budget Disney+ shows available on physical media, and you can find it on eBay etc. for cheap.
I have lost many songs I bought on iTunes. In most cases they have simply disappeared, but some have turned up as regionally excluded long after my purchase and long (i.e., years) after I have listened to them many, many times on multiple devices.I gave up with streaming a while ago and just buy stuff I like on iTunes, never lost any content as of yet including stuff that’s no longer on the store
I’m in the UK, maybe we have some laws stopping it from happening? Not sure but for example, I have Chicken run in my library which was removed from iTunes when the second movie came out on Netflix, removed likely due to exclusivity but it’s still available to me to watchI have lost many songs I bought on iTunes.

I can only assume that the same will eventually happen with movies I’ve purchased from them too (if it hasn’t already).
Disney make original content?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Video streaming is typically defined by high fixed costs (not cheap to make original content) but negligible marginal cost.
I guess keep jacking it up then?
It's sort of what happened with normal cable TV ... those that HAD to have it just kept paying more and more and more..... and then more and more...
Have at it I guess if it's that important to someone 🤷♂️
Meanwhile, I miss none of it
It's actually incredible how little TV I watch
Outside of some football and NHL Playoffs, I watch literally no TV at all.
Hey, now. Disney also buys things other people has successfully made, and then destroys them (Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Marvel, etc). Give them some creditDisney make original content?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Disney plagiarizes others, butchers their works and gaslight the public into believing the original is the lesser works. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White: copied from the Brothers Grimm. Lion King, a copy of Kimba the White Lion. Little Mermaid and Frozen: stolen from Hans Christian Anderson. Even Elsa is a carbon copy of Berthier (Bertie in the dub) from Sailor Moon R.

I can't place all the blame on Disney though. People, in general, are stupid. The guy who wrote some of the greatest works of Greek literature is the lesser known Homer. Doh.😩
capitalism is to sell at the higest price possible, not the lowest. Disney (and the others as well) have figured they can increase profits by raising prices. And it will repeat and repeat until the raised prices will not make up for the lower subscriber numbers anymore. After all, the shareholders don't really care if Disney has 10 Million or a 100 million subscribers. They take the number of subsribers that make the most profit.so is competing on price, so it's not much of an explanation if you leave it at that

Also, companies do not want to compete with each other, that's a capitalistic fairytale. They do everything to avoid it, and only do it when absolutely necessary (and forced by regulations). So yes, free (unregulated) market capitalism is the perfect and only explanation.

Until they inevitably start up the contracts. You can for sure bet it's coming. Don't think they don't have their eyes on people like you. Netflix will definitely be the first one to do it too.
The problem is, Disney functionally has a monopoly on children's content-- so capitalism (competition isn't really playing out). Every time something that comes along that might start to compete with them, they just buy it up.capitalism is to sell at the higest price possible, not the lowest.

IMO Disney should be broken up. Then there can be actual competition, as capitalism can get to work.
