Comment on Disney creates best argument for piracy in a century.
lvxferre@mander.xyz 4 weeks agoNo, no, the problem is that once you’ve had a Disney+ subscription, even a free trial, you’re fucked for life (and beyond), according to Disney.
That’s correct on pragmatic grounds. I’m talking about moral grounds - if you’re giving them money you’re basically condoning their murder.

Yeah, the question is how long until they make it illegal to quit. As I said Musk is already trying, with advertisers.

At those times I’m glad that Musk is a muppet and that his “they’re violating anrichrust!” will likely not roll well in courts, since he has a previous backstory of pissing off advertisers. And accordingly I don’t think that Disney will be able to enforce their “ackshyually they cannot sue me lol lmao see Disney+ clause” redditism. (And they likely wouldn’t be able to make contracts “valid for an eternity”, i.e. illegal to quit.)
But I get you. They’re still trying to violate human agency for profit. And I think that legal systems around the world should be curbing down those very attempts, not just telling them “no, you can’t do this” but also “your company is acting on bad faith and should be prevented from conducting businesses under the jurisdiction of this government”.
