After Netflix, Disney is cracking down on password sharing

After Netflix, I am cracking down on paying for these services.

Meanwhile, for completely unrelated reasons, I decided to mention that the https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ instance is run by the former top mod of /r/piracy.

I paid for Netflix, cancelled it and got Disney+ instead when they cracked down on password sharing. I am more than happy to end my subscription to Disney and go full pirate, I don't care and I live in Canada so I'll never face repercussions.

I'd love to support the creatives but seeing all these strikes it's not like the execs are paying them livable wages anyways. They complain about not making enough money on streaming then vote to increase just the executives pay by insane margins annually, I can see through your deception execs.

If you are going to hoard your wealth so will I, and when the economy dies cause we are all hoarding our pennies I won't feel bad for you while you look up from the bounds of the guillotine.

It's funny how everyone said they would give up on netflix once the whole password sharing was tossed out, but here we are with netflix hitting higher numbers and no one leaving. Every streaming service out there is gonna follow the same practice since it'll make them more money. If you dont agree with how they are doing things, then leave. It's the only way to influence their decisions.

“K.”

I love my Jellyfin server.

I'll stick with my "nothing a month" plan.

Netflix was the canary in the coal mines. Now I suspect we will see most if not all streaming services to follow in the coming months/year.

My Plex server will continue forward on it's ongoing 12+ year long mission of not giving a fuck while continuing to provide me with all my content!

"Surely all the people who share subscriptions because they can't all afford 25 streaming services will each get their own accounts if we block password sharing, as opposed to just not using our services any more!"

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum 🏴‍☠️

And people wonder why piracy is going up

Worked well for for Netflix, stock is up 30% since May.

123 movies is where its at

Have to wait for theater movies to come to my paid subscription (non-premium or whatever the name is) and now wont be able to split the costs with the rest of the family? Fuck that!

they saw all the lemmings get new Netflix accounts, and figured if the sheep were lining up to be shorn, they might as well get their share too

Said differently,

After Netflix, Disney is giving users permission to pirate all of its content

I guess it was inevitable when everyone and their dog rolled out a streaming service that eventually they'd have to squeeze subscribers more to stem the losses.

It seems like if the streaming platforms licensed each others exclusives in the same way no music streaming service has much exclusive music, there might be less profit but it might have been more stable for them.

Jesus, what's with the bot in the comments, do I even want to click on that picture?
