Good luck with that. Are they seriously expecting me to pay for 4-5 streaming services? I guess no Disney for me then.

(And remember, that was one of the hesitations they had about releasing to VHS. See also the Disney self-destructing DVD, allowing only 24 hours of use). ((Were the cassettes that needed to be returned to a factory for rewinding a Disney thing too?))
