Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I'm off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here's the proof.

    Lol, what?

    For convenience and price, you simply can’t beat free streaming sites.

      The quality and experience is horrible though.

      Torrenting always wins. But maybe you have poor internet and don’t want to wait for a download (although you can watch a movie while downloading it.)

      A Plex server with automatic downloading is way more convenient.

        Usenet is even better. I have my *arrs set up to run both and tdarr transcodes everything to h265 10 bit.

        I’m scared to do torrent man. I didn’t care about it when I was in Indonesia. Now I live in Germany, and now I’m scared of doing it.

          Just use a good paid VPN and bind the VPN network Interface to your torrent client so that it’s impossible to torrent without the VPN turned on.
