Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.

it makes me chuckle at all those who once had a physical collection and sold them or gave them away in favour of streaming... who's laughing now loser's 🤦♂️
Going to be honest, I don't really care that I got rid of my VHS tapes and 480p DVDs.
Yeah anything under 1080p is unwatchable on 50"+ screens.
Fuck I'm still glad I don't have to waste space on a physical collection anymore. It 100% sucked ass having all that shelf-space full of CDs and DVDs/blurays.
Kept all mine, turned it into a Plex server w/o pirating, laughing in no monthly subs. Plus charity shops sell blurays for barely anything.
I mean, free streaming sites never went away.
Damn, sad you're this smug while also thinking you're smart for having physical media.
Free streaming sites never went away.
Why are you posting so much about streaming sites in this thread?
People that feel superior for not paying are so stupid.
Some people actually like the ease of use, user experience and legality of paid streaming services.
People that try and justify piracy because X are also so stupid.
I like piracy because free is nice, but some people think that they are morally in the right, because "companies bad". I won't say that piracy is theft but the industry obviously needs people that do the right thing to survive, and making fun of people who do is very counterproductive.
And the quality of (newer) physical media far surpasses the best of free and paid streaming services.
You can get the same quality by downloading though.
🤡
No, people who go out of there way to justify being ripped off are. Lol.
Haha, paying for a service isn't the same as being ripped off.
