disney: we’re taking all of our movies off of streaming services and we’re going to charge you $10 a month to watch them on our own streaming app
me:
More like
Disney: “We’re going to take all our movies off of streaming sites INCLUDING THE ONE WE ALREADY OWN (Hulu) so we can put them on a separate one and milk even more money out of you.”
Me:
Disney owns everything, and even if they didn’t own it, they will eventually
Holy shit.
I think it would be easier to list what they DO NOT own….
If you were to resort to piracy over being exhausted over the various streaming services recreating the nickling and diming of the cable television industry (and I’m not saying you should - just… if you happen to find yourself there), a full VPN is not required.
You can have your torrent activity go through a proxy (while the rest of your traffic isn’t shuttled through there) using services like BTGuard. All the torrent activity is run through the proxy:
If your ISP has bandwidth caps, you’ll still run into those. But they won’t know what you’re transferring.
Just… information out there that you might find useful, in the age of ten-thousand different streaming services that all want you to keep adding more paid subscriptions.

I didn’t even know piracy “stopped” for anyone else I’ve spent 25 years straight never personally paying for a tv show
