- ghaff 6y agoYou're assuming that current content doesn't tend to drive out the older content. Piracy works a lot better for popular new material than for obscure older material. (The Simpsons is popular enough that this may not apply but torrents don't work very well for mostly obscure works.)

- ghaff 6y ago>physical media mostly doesn't exist anymore It mostly does. Of course, that will certainly change over time.
- layoutIfNeeded 6y ago>torrents don't work very well for mostly obscure works You’re not on the right sites :)

- Rebelgecko 6y agoDisney+ is already missing at least one Simpsons episode (the Michael Jackson one). A lot of jokes have also been censored or neutered, although some of those changes were already made to reruns before Disney+
