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.
Yep, it feels like we’re about to see the second wave of piracy, and more and more people are going to dust off their jolly Rogers. $80 was worth it for the catalog, but the price hike is completely unjustifiable. I’ve already canceled my sub, and I’m betting there will be plenty who do the same. A 75% increase is egregious.
About to see? My friend, we never stopped. Especially now, more people have started to look into self hosting.
I never stopped once I saw that the shit you pay for is not even yours anymore. Unless it’s indie games, I just straight up download the game. Could care less about online gaming. (Thx ftp)
Can you point me in the right direction of where to start? My last adventures of file sharing ended with Napster and Limewire.
Well theoretically…
-
get a vpn
-
deluge (others will pile in with apps no doubt)
-

Once you get your feet back under yourself, you can start looking at usenet and such

Anime was still not big when Netflix came in. Foreign movies were also not available yet either. Programs, music, and all that stuff was still hard to get if it was not distributed by a US company.
Disney made a movie called Crater that was removed from their catalog after just two weeks. It is only available via piracy.
I haven’t watched it because that would be illegal, but it’s almost like they want us to pirate. Heck, I would never have heard about Final Space if the animator hadn’t raised a stink after it got removed from the WB catalog.
It is only available via piracy.
You can stream it on Amazon. Disney sucks, but there’s no need to spread misinformation to make that point.
