Piracy of Disney+ content will go up around then as well id imagine.
It’s good of them to give everyone a bit of warning.
Otherwise Pirate Bay might not be ready for the surge in traffic they’re about to get!
My interest in Disney is hanging by a thread as it is. Marvel and Star Wars don’t hold my interest as much as they used to, I guess I’m just growing/moving out of the target audience.
I’m sure they will get a few more sales this way even if they lose the odd consumer
I don’t know why it’s being reported as a “clampdown” as though users have been fraudulent by sharing passwords, it was specifically allowed and their old terms had no concept of households.
We need better reporting on what it actually is, a company changing the terms on their side, reducing the value of their product and squeezing us out of more money
As Gabe Newell once said, “Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem”.
Video streamers as of late seem to have forgotten this and their actions (restrictions on password sharing and forcing ads on paying customers) have created a service problem which is driving people back towards piracy. You make life harder for customers with your service and you (re-)create the problem you’re trying to combat.
This is why music streamers like Spotify and Apple Music, as well as the likes of Xbox Game Pass, will stick around – because their services are accessible and convenient enough that people are willing to pay a fair price for them in return for up to many hours of entertainment each month.
