Only if the value of time consumed trying to break the DRM is lower than the Disney+ subscription fee. And I think for the majority, the Disney+ subscription fee will be lower.
- manicdee 7y agoFor a lot of people I know, there’s more cost than just the subscription fee, there’s also buying equipment to support that streaming service. It’s like people recommending I upgrade to Windows 10 when the machine I am using is barely capable of running Windows 7. It’s not just $10 a month, it’s also $1000 for a new computer to watch it on. Or a new TV which means buying new furniture since the current cabinet can’t hold anything larger than 30” and the smallest TV I can buy is 44”. Then there’s streaming requiring 25Mbps when my Australian NBN struggles at 12Mbps.
