How long would it take you to break even with installing Plex, buying the worthwhile Disney movies on DVD, and ripping them at $20/mo? 2 years? They have the same problem with ESPN. I want 15-30 minutes a day of MLB scores and highlights and don't want to pay $30/mo for it, even if it includes a channel for every college sport, the ESPPies, and original programming.

Well ripping DVDs was made illegal (again) in the UK in 2015; so perhaps if Disney managed to do that in enough jurisdictions they'd increase their market.

For real, btw.

iTunes creators should basically be imprisoned in the UK for contributory copyright infringement.

I strongly suspect this sort of crazy, luddite, anachronistic attitude to magnify when the Tory's get their "sovereignty" back and don't have Europe to check their anti-democratic attitudes.

I don't know, but I've seen 250+gb torrents with disney content, although I'd never dare to partake.

anyone using microsoft or apple operating systems deserves to be infected anyway. maybe that's a bit harsh.
