It's seeming like piracy and Plex servers is the only way forward for people who want to stream stuff without having to worry about it getting removed eventually or the service getting worse year after year.
- digisign 5y agoAs always torrents don't have these issues. An increasing copyright tax on very old works would stop this nonsense.

- pridkett 5y agoI’m not quite sure if that’s accurate. The distinction is that Disney isn’t allowing the movies to have for-profit showings. The movies are still widely available on streaming services or to purchase through iTunes. Alien was brought up as an example of a film in the article - the first four Alien movies are on sale for $20 on iTunes right now. This isn’t so much Disney hiding the movies, but more that they’re limiting many to in home screening only.
